FIS is still evaluating additional Russian entries across alpine, ski jumping and nordic combined, with rulings possible by the end of the week.

Overview

  • FIS approved neutral status for Saveliy Korosteleov, Daria Nepryaeva and Anastasia Tatalina, allowing them to compete under FIS authorization rather than for Russia.
  • Tatalina is scheduled to compete at the World Cup in the United States from December 11 to 13 in her freestyle discipline.
  • Korosteleov and Nepryaeva could start at the Davos World Cup on December 13–14 as entry procedures are finalized, their coach Egor Sorin said.
  • The Russian Alpine Skiing Federation said six athletes are awaiting decisions on neutral status.
  • Jumping chief Dmitry Dubrovsky said eight ski jumpers and three nordic combined athletes await rulings, with possible decisions this week and the Four Hills Tournament identified as their first potential event if cleared.
