The FIS reported that two Russian and Belarusian skiers will take part in the World Cup in Davos
Sports director of the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) Sandra Spitz said that two Russian and Belarusian athletes will be allowed to participate in the World Cup skiing stage in Davos.
The World Cup stage in Davos will take place from December 12 to 14. This is the final start where Russians can qualify for the Olympic Games, which will be held from February 6 to 22, 2026 in Italy.
“We hope that we can do this (issue neutral statuses) within a couple of days. I can’t promise it, but it could happen.
— How many Russian and Belarusian athletes will be admitted?
“A couple of people,” Spitz quotes SVT Sport as saying.
Earlier, the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the Russian Olympic Committee Mikhail Degtyarev said that Russia won a claim in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the FIS and now the international federation is obliged to allow Russian athletes to compete. Degtyarev noted that the CAS arbitrators recognized the demands of the Russian side as reasonable and legitimate and, in accordance with the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), obliged FIS to allow Russians to compete in Olympic disciplines in a neutral status, and athletes in Paralympic disciplines under the national flag. The FIS accepted the CAS decision and published the eligibility criteria.

“We jumped to conclusions.” The SBR named the real reasons for postponing the men’s individual race at the Russian Cup stage in Tyumen
Executive Director of the Russian Biathlon Union (SBR) Alexander Pak said on Match TV that the men’s individual race at the second stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Biathlon Cup in Tyumen was not postponed due to a power failure.
The race will take place on December 12, starting at 10:00 Moscow time. The competition was originally scheduled for Thursday, December 11th. Earlier, the press service of the SBR reported that the race was postponed due to an accident in the electrical network supplying the lighting of the Pearl of Siberia complex.
— Before all competitions we conduct TV tests. And we determined that the lighting on the track, unfortunately, is not enough for a high-quality TV broadcast. Therefore, we decided to postpone the start date. So that athletes can run in comfortable conditions, so that TV viewers can see a high-quality picture.
– Are we talking about an accident? Technical solution?
– Yes, at first we rushed to the conclusion. There is no accident,” Pak said on Match TV.
