Olympic biathlon champion Dmitry Vasilyev After the new FIS decision regarding Russian skiers, Russian participation in the 2026 Olympics is unlikely.
Swedish newspaper Expressen reported on Friday that the International Ski Federation (FIS) has extended the suspension of Russian athletes from participating in tournaments under its auspices for the coming season.
— Skiers are not allowed during the pre-Olympic season. Is this a warning sign that they won’t compete in the 2026 Games?
— Participation in the Olympic Games is unlikely. If only events occur that will influence this decision – the end of the SVO. Otherwise, perhaps individual athletes will be allowed to play certain specific sports, if the leaders of these international federations are sensible.
— Another season without international departures. The guys are going to be bored, aren’t they?
— This applies to all sports in general. An athlete improves his skills by competing against the strongest. You have to train at home so as not to get sour at all. We need to find new motivation for our athletes, so that they are ready when the sanctions are lifted,” Vasiliev told .
