Olympic speed skating champion, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Svetlana Jourova believes that for the moment there is no need to wait for news from the winter federations on the issue of admitting Russian athletes.
The ISU Council in March did not consider the issue of admitting Russians to international competitions, from which they were suspended due to the situation in Ukraine.
— Do you have the feeling that there will be progress for the 2026 Olympic Games?
— Not a single winter federation says anything, it remains silent. Maybe we agreed. We need to show the ISU such a level of competition in figure skating, make the figure skating league as big as the NHL, so that the ISU itself wants to cooperate with us,” Zhurova told .
