The girls from the Russian women's wrestling team are preparing for the World Championship in three styles, which will take place this September in Zagreb. Recently, they held a photo session where they posed in front of a portrait of Vladimir Putin - the head of Russia. It is worth noting that the team received neutral status from the International Wrestling Federation.



It should be noted that Russian figure skaters who supported the war lost the chance to go to the 2026 Olympics - in pairs, Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Galliamov; in ice dancing, Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin.


At the end of 2024, Ivan Bukin and his partner Alexandra Stepanova became the heroes of an event with the President of Russia. However, later, realizing the possible consequences, Bukin decided to delete his Instagram post.



Revealing Bukin and Stepanova's Achievements


The champion couple - Bukin and Stepanova - can boast two titles of vice-champions of Europe and four victories at the Russian Figure Skating Championships.
