2026-27 Russian Pairs Figure Skating

I remember the case, but I believe that was on request of particular country, when she used Poland as transitional port. Now the situation is different when Russian skaters are officially in. Of course we have to count with everything, maybe Poland turns crazy, that can't be excluded, but if they did not issue any protest till now then I hope it will be fine.
A very recent case

Russian pairs have entry in China, Turkey and Poland, so I presume let's say Sh/K in China, second pair (let¨s say Sazhina/Belkin) in Turkey and whichever of them scores better will go to Poland.
Rusfed won't take any risks. The first two stages will be handed over to the leaders, and it's quite possible that the third stage will be lost, so at least one pair will be able to advance to the final.
It was officially confirmed today that a Russian sports pair has received one quote for the stage in Poland.

Sad, but there also was some rhythmic gymnastic competition in Poland with Russian participation a week or two ago. But yes, it is probably a safe way to send one team to two stages and then eventually try to give another pair the third entry if possible.
 
Ice skaters from both the main and reserve teams of the Russian national figure skating team have received applications for neutral status.

Those who were not included on the lists are currently unable to apply.

Participation in international competitions is regulated by the federation — it selects athletes based on their preferences, but also according to its own criteria.

So, they have an extra entry in pairs as per rules. I really hope they can go since any extra spot is wonderful.
 
Entries for JGP in China:
Polina Shesheleva & Egor Karnaukhov
Substitutes: Polina Sazhina & Aleksei Belkin

Subject to change after test skates
I am super excited to see them right away in the first stage of JGP! They were mighty impressive last year.
 
Poland so far did not ban Russians from entering the country, after all Sasha Trusova was there just week or two before.

But IMO if an organizing country does not allow entry to a certified athlete there should be sanction, up to taking organizing of the event from it.
It's hard enough to get countries to host these things.
 
Arina Parsegova has completely switched to pairs skating.

The athlete will no longer be training in singles and has decided to focus on pairs skating. her partner is Matvey Bogdanov.

Honestly, even Russian junior skaters repping the U.S. have had trouble with visa entry issues. Mark Zheltyshev was unable to compete (with partner, Jane Calhoun) at 2026 Junior Worlds, in Tallinn, Estonia, due to visa issues. Meanwhile, Daniil Veselukhin reportedly was able to enter the country with a biometric passport. It likely helped that Daniil and Hana were favored to win gold (and they did win gold).
 
Mishina & Galliamov, Boikova & Kozlovskii, Chikmareva & Ianchenkov — potential team (announced by the media) for the Japanese CS event.
So the best against the best ... but it's really necessary to send the 3 against each other (not that I don't love to see the probably 3 best pairs in the world competing).. they could send one of them to other CS event ( or the 3 were going to do all possible CS)?.. because japan isn't the place for personal best .. they already know that they are 0.001 from each other ... no need the pressure ... and before the test skates ...
In positive japanese people will cherish them ...

P.S: Any of them has the AIN status yet?
 
I think it's the hunger games to determine the strongest for the World Championship to get no lower than silver, plus max out numbers with TES minimums for everything.

I think .. russia can send who ever they want in pairs.. the top 3 will belong to them .... yes probably they want to see if B/K can skate clean with M/G .. who the juries likes more .. and if the third pair can handle an international competition ...
It's like a 3A but in pairs .
There is any limited of participations in CS?
