It seems that at least young people will be able to compete not only in Russia!
Russian figure skaters will be able to participate in international competitions in the 2025/2026 season; The International Skating Union (ISU) will consider this issue at the next congress, which will take place from September 27 to 29 in Lausanne.
According to a source from RIA Novosti Sport, if the admission decision is positive, Russian figure skaters will be able to compete on the international stage starting in 2025. The DAA will examine this issue for the first time last year.
Not everyone believes in a good result:

Also during the meeting the issue of qualification of Russian and Belarusian athletes for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in the Italian cities of Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo will be considered.
It is unlikely that we will know the decision this weekend, but we will closely monitor all news and comments regarding the situation.
