The athlete from the aggressor country was not injured.
The Council of the International Ski Federation (FIS) voted against allowing Russians and Belarusians to participate in the Olympic qualifying competitions.
"The FIS Council voted against allowing athletes in individual neutral status (AIN) to the qualifying competitions for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games 2026 in Milan. The AIN status was developed by the International Olympic Committee as a possible way for athletes from Russia and Belarus to participate in the qualifying competitions for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games 2026. At the same time, each international federation retains the right to independently decide whether to allow these athletes to qualify or not".
It is worth noting that Russian speed skater Daniil Naidenishev, who was recognized as a neutral athlete by the International Skating Union (ISU), turned out to be a friend of the Russian invader Mikhail Lebedev.
On Instagram, Naidenishev follows Lebedev’s page, who is participating in the war against Ukraine. Lebedev posts photos and videos of his participation in the war against Ukraine on his page. It should be noted that the invader Lebedev is also a follower of Naidenishev.
