“I would like to see the return of figure skaters, if not by the 2026 Olympics, then at least by 2030” – Mishina

Honored coach of Russia in figure skating Tatiana Michina regretted that the council of the International Skating Union (ISU) did not consider the issue of admitting Russian athletes to international competitions.

learned earlier that the ISU Council in Lausanne did not reconsider the issue of admitting Russian athletes to international competitions.

— It is with great regret that the ISU has not even considered this question. Hopes were raised when information about the admission of juniors emerged. That would already be a step forward. We have a lot of talented girls, they would be competing.

Everything will continue in the same spirit – we will compete in Russia, there are enough starts. But everyone wants to compete in the world, with all the strongest. Yes, we have strong athletes, but there are others. This would raise the level of world figure skating.

I would like to see a return, if not to the 2026 Games, then at least to 2030. In sport, you have to show yourself today, not tomorrow. It’s a shame that our guys don’t participate in world competitions,” Mishina told .

The exclusion of Russian athletes from international competitions in figure skating, short track speed skating and speed skating has been in effect since 2022.
