The Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation has determined the lineup of the national team for important international competitions in the 2025/2026 season. Following the recommendation of the coaching council, athletes have been selected to represent Ukraine in various tournaments, including the Winter Olympics and the European Championships.



The most significant decision was the selection of the participant in men's singles skating for the Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo. After an analysis, Kyrylo Marsak was chosen to represent Ukraine in these competitions.



'Marsak possesses two quadruple jumps, which gave him an advantage over others. His result in the free program is one of the best,' the Federation explained.


The team lineup for participation in the European Figure Skating Championships in Sheffield has also been approved. Ukraine will be represented by athletes in men's and women's singles skating, ice dance, and pair skating.



The UFFC is already preparing to represent Ukraine at these important international competitions, hoping for the success of its athletes.
