2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics - Figure Skating Qualification

[SkateFanBerlin]

Oh, dear. Hopefully the IOC will tell the Russian and Belarusian AINs that they'll go through "team processing" when they arrive in Milano-Cortina and they'll get their AIN uniforms/gear there, courtesy of Nike.

They will continue to be monitored and possibly loose AIN status? How will they participate in IOC drug testing in the run up to Milan? Surely the Russian Fed isn`t in charge of this. I`m, sure they are filled with some new non-regulated substance.

Just random question - Does anyone miss the old Olympic schedule order when the Pairs event was always first?

From 1976 - 84, I remembered it was Pairs, Ice Dance, Men, and Women (or Ladies if you will), then in 1988, they put Men after Pairs.

I just think that with the crazy jumps men are doing now, they should schedule the men to skate later. I don't know why they don't ...

China put Pairs last. I wish they had put Women after Dance so I could see both in person. Oh well.
