Athletistic / Olympic Games. The press service of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) removed without any statement the photo of Russian double world figure skating champion Evgenia Medvedeva from the official website of the 2026 Olympic Games. The next Winter Games will take place in Italy.

Previously, Medvedeva appeared on the cover of the 2024 Olympics figure skating tournament in Milan. However, the 24-year-old Russian was replaced by Italian figure skater Carolina Costner.

Evgenia Medvedeva is a double silver medalist at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang (South Korea). She won these medals in the singles competition and the team figure skating tournament. It should be noted that since 2020, she has no longer participated in official competitions. Today, Evgenia takes part in ice shows and also runs her own YouTube channel.

The 2026 Olympic Games will be held from February 6 to 22 in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. Currently, the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) has been suspended from membership in the IOC due to the admission of representatives of new regions of the country into its composition.
