New Facts: Adeliia Petrosian Qualifies for Olympics
On September 19, 2025, Russian figure skater Adeliia Petrosian won her Olympic qualifier for the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, boosting her chances for a gold medal.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has confirmed that Russian athletes will compete as Individual Neutral Athletes at the upcoming Winter Games, while team sports remain banned.
This decision allows individual athletes like Petrosian to participate, despite ongoing sanctions against Russia, which have led to a complex landscape for athletes from the country.
While the IOC has maintained its stance on individual athletes, the situation remains fluid as the world governing body for judo has recently lifted its ban on Russian athletes competing under their national flag.
Looking ahead, the IOC's regulations and the participation of Russian athletes will continue to be scrutinized as the Milan-Cortina Games approach.
