Russian streamer Olga Ivanovna, known under the nickname i_olga on the Twitch platform, won the “Best Gaming Moment of 2025” category as part of the international NNYS award.

During one of the streams, a 77-year-old woman was able to create a so-called “ace” in the shooter Counter‑Strike 2 – the moment when one player defeats the entire opposing team. A video of this moment was widely shared on social networks.

The pensioner lives in Nizhny Novgorod. About 250 thousand viewers have subscribed to her channel.

The NNYS Awards annually celebrate significant moments and select the best videos across 16 categories.

Victoria Metelya, live on Match TV, assessed the performance of Russian skiers at the World Cup in Davos (Switzerland) and spoke about the possible admission of Russian biathletes to the 2026 Olympic Games.

On Saturday, Saveliy Korostelev and Daria Nepryaeva failed to qualify for the freestyle sprint at the World Cup in Davos, but these results were enough to meet the qualification standard for the 2026 Olympics.

On Wednesday, the Russian Biathlon Union (RUB) filed a lawsuit with the Court of Arbitration for Sport to challenge the exclusion of athletes from Russia from competing under the auspices of the International Biathlon Union (IBU). RBU President Viktor Maigurov reported that the organization will ask CAS to consider the issue under an accelerated procedure.

— How would you evaluate the performance of the Russians at the World Cup in Davos?

– Everything is fine, this is the first start. I wish the guys good luck: follow the intended path. I’m incredibly happy for them. We wrote off after admission, wished all the best, I’m rooting for the guys.

— How much do you believe that Russian biathletes will be allowed to participate in the Olympic Games in January?

“We hope for the best, but things are much more difficult here in this regard, so I don’t really expect miracles; what will happen will happen.” In any case, we will be ready. Even if they don’t take me, I will be happy for our other athletes.

— If you have a chance to go to the Olympics, will you go?

“Of course, it’s not even discussed,” Metelya said on Match TV.
