Neutral Russian Athletes Post Mixed Results After CAS Ruling

A CAS decision opened neutral entries at FIS, with other federations imposing selective restrictions.

Overview

  • FIS canceled the women's super‑G in Zauchensee due to heavy overnight snow and high winds, citing safety standards.
  • In Saturday's downhill at Zauchensee, Russia's Yulia Pleshkova placed 51st as Lindsey Vonn won ahead of Kaisa Vickhoff Lie and Jacqueline Wiles.
  • At the Winterberg Luge World Cup, Darya Olesik finished 10th and Pavel Repilov 17th, with victories going to Austria's Hanna Prock and Jonas Müller; Matvey Perestoronin missed the second run.
  • Russia's Alina Mikhailova won the Tunis fencing Grand Prix, defeating Japan's Misaki Emura 15–10 in the final as FIE allows neutral participation.
  • FIS is approving neutral‑status entries for several Russian alpine skiers, while FIL both admitted some Russians to Olympic qualification and later revoked specific starts over eligibility concerns.
