President of the Russian Skating Union Nikolai Guliaev told that he still hoped for a quick admission of Russians to international competitions.
The International Skating Union (ISU) does not yet allow Russians to compete under its auspices.
— I have already said more than once that there is confidence: Russian speed skaters will go to the 2026 Olympics. So yes, for me this is a pre-Olympic season.
— Judging by the schedule of ISU council meetings, there is no news about admission before the end of the year?
– Probably not. But the inner feeling of expectation remains. Suddenly, a miracle will happen. But we are now seeing how the situation is evolving and in several sports our athletes are starting to be allowed to participate in international competitions. Generally, there must be a basic decision regarding admission, and then there will be specific questions. The guys are preparing, we have a weak start,” Gulyaev told .
