Double Olympic biathlon champion Svetlana Ichmouratova told that she does not expect a positive decision on the issue of admitting Russian athletes to competitions under the auspices of the International Skating Union (ISU).
On Thursday, the president of the Russian Skating Union, Nikolai Gulyaev, told that the question of the possible admission of Russians was on the agenda of the ISU Council, which will be held on 27 and September 28.
“God grant that Nikolai Gulyaev’s hopes come true.” But frankly, I don’t expect anything good from the IOC or the international federations. I’m tired of waiting all the time for donations. Perhaps some sort of interim decision will be made. Most likely, they will wave the sweets in front of their noses again and eat them themselves,” Ishmuratova told .
Russian figure skaters, speed skaters and short track speed skaters are currently suspended from participating in international competitions under the auspices of the ISU.
