Four more Russian figure skaters granted neutral status

The International Skating Union (ISU) has approved neutral athlete status for an additional four Russian figure skaters, allowing them to participate in international competitions. The skaters officially added to the neutral list are Kira Domozhirova, Viktor Potapov, Milana Kuzmina, and Dmitri Studenikin.

This development follows previous decisions by the ISU to permit Russian athletes to compete under a neutral flag, a measure implemented in response to international sanctions against Russia. The neutral status means these skaters will not represent Russia and will compete without national symbols or anthems.

The ISU's decision reflects an ongoing effort to balance international sporting regulations with the participation of athletes from sanctioned nations. The specific criteria and implications for these skaters' future competitions remain subject to ISU guidelines.
