Honored Coach of the USSR Tatiana Tarasova expressed confidence that Russian figure skaters will participate in the 2026 Olympic Games, which will be held in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.
In the field of winter Olympic sports, no federation currently allows Russian athletes to participate in international competitions, even in neutral status.
— If we talk about the chances of going to the Winter Olympics in 2026, then I am sure that we will participate. I am just sure of it. There should not even be questions about the trip, just go to the Games.
Under what conditions? What does that mean? The conditions are the same for everyone. If we are allowed to, of course. And the number of our athletes must be judged by the World Championships [по фигурному катанию]. I think we will also participate. They will let us in there,” Tarasova said, as quoted by Sport24.
The Winter Olympics will be held in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo from 6 to 22 February 2026.
