Skier Nepryaeva will fly to Davos on Thursday morning to participate in the World Cup, where she could qualify for the Olympics
The mother of skier Daria Nepryaeva, who received neutral status to participate in international competitions, Irina told Match TV that her daughter will fly to Davos on Thursday morning to participate in the World Cup.
Skiers Nepryaeva and Savely Korostelev received neutral status from the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) to participate in the qualifying competitions for the 2026 Olympic Games.
— Right now I’m packing her things urgently. The emotions are twofold: on the one hand, it seems, pride, on the other hand – you know, an invitation like to a birthday party. Not on a sporting basis, but whoever they want is invited. This is also wrong, from my point of view.
— When will you fly to Davos?
“I’m meeting with her in Moscow this evening, and she’s flying out tomorrow morning.”
— Have you already talked to Dasha? How did you react, did you already realize it?
— I spoke with Dasha on the phone, she is now in Perm at the moment. You know that Elena Valerievna (Vyalbe) and Yegor Sorin already said that all the guys submitted documents and applications, and were waiting to see whether they would be invited to this holiday or not. Everyone had some kind of expectation, not just to pass, as before, some kind of selection for the Olympics. We have poor athletes now. I feel sorry for the guys who are more worthy here: if they serve somewhere, then they are no longer worthy of going to the Olympic Games. This is wrong,” Irina Nepryaeva told Match TV.
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 Olympics, which will be held from February 6 to 22, 2026 in Italy.

Metelya – about possible admission to IBU tournaments: “Even though it will be a neutral status, I understand that I will represent Russia”
Russian biathlete Victoria Metelya stated that she is ready to compete at international tournaments in a neutral status.
On Wednesday it became known that the Russian Biathlon Union (SBR) filed a lawsuit with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to challenge the exclusion of Russian athletes from competitions under the auspices of the International Biathlon Union (IBU). Previously, the Russian side, in a similar lawsuit against the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS), achieved the participation of Russian athletes in the Olympic selection.
— Would you agree to perform in a neutral status?
– If this happens, I will agree. And even though it will be a neutral status, I understand that I will represent Russia. I hope justice will prevail. Although in biathlon it will be much more difficult to obtain such a status than in cross-country skiing,” Tyumen Arena quotes Metelya.
Russian biathletes have been suspended from international competitions since 2022.

The IBU reported that the claim was filed with CAS by the SBR, RKR and eight Russian biathletes and parabiathletes
The International Biathlon Union (IBU) reported on its website that it has received information from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) about a claim from the Russian Biathlon Union (RUB), the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC), Russian biathletes and parabiathletes against the decision to exclude athletes from international competitions.
On Wednesday, the head of the RBU press service, Sergei Averyanov, told Match TV that the organization filed a lawsuit with CAS to challenge the exclusion of Russian athletes from competitions under the auspices of the IBU. Previously, the Russian side, in a similar lawsuit against the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS), achieved the participation of Russian athletes in the Olympic selection.
— The IBU received notification today from CAS that the RBU, RKR and eight Russian biathletes and parabiathletes have submitted a request for arbitration.
The IBU supports the democratic decision of the IBU Congress to suspend the membership of the RBU and the admission of its athletes, which was taken on a sound legal basis. The IBU also reiterates that the competition rules and IBU statutes do not allow athletes to participate in neutral status. The IBU is confident in its position and will cooperate fully with CAS.
The IBU legal team is currently reviewing the documents received. Further announcements will be made in due course, it said.
