Olympic medalist in speed skating Olga Fatkoulina said she did not expect a positive decision from the International Skating Union (ISU) council.
The ISU Council did not allow Russians to participate in international competitions.
– To be honest, I am. and I didn’t think it could be any different, so none of this surprised me. But I still hope that, even selectively, someone will go to the Olympics in 2026. The question is whether anyone will have time to qualify; it is very likely that he will wait until the last minute.
— You ran 3000 meters in Chelyabinsk, how did you feel?
– It was incredibly terrible. I forgot how to start calmly, because generally in a sprint, the pedal is on the floor and you give your all from the start. At one point, I realized that I was making circles like I was driving a tractor-trailer, and there were still a lot of circles ahead of me! I thought I wouldn’t make it, but I was motivated by the fact that the athletes who work with me were watching me,” Fatkulina told .
