Some members of the International Skating Union (ISU) plan to advocate for the admission of Belarusian athletes to international competitions; The Russians do not have such support within the organization. This was reported by RIA News.
According to the agency’s source, there are those in the ranks of international organizations who support allowing Belarusian athletes to participate in tournaments, because there are official justifications for this. In particular, there are currently no Belarusian military personnel on Ukrainian territory. The organization also takes into account the decision of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) to allow Belarusian football clubs and the national team to participate in matches at neutral venues.
The International Skating Union Council will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, on October 6-8. The return of athletes from Russia and Belarus to international competitions will be evaluated upon appropriate recommendations from the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
Speed ​​skating, short track speed skating and figure skating competitions are held under the auspices of ISU.
