- Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has reportedly lost her neutral-athlete status and is barred from international competitions.
- Reuters reported the International Skating Union decision, but the ISU has not issued an official statement.

Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva can no longer compete in international events after losing her status as a neutral athlete.
Reuters reported the decision by the International Skating Union, although the ISU has not officially commented on it. The move leaves Valieva without permission to start in international competitions.
Media reports also said the ISU had withdrawn neutral status from Mark Kondratiuk, the 2022 European champion. The report presents Valieva's case as another reversal of the neutral-athlete arrangement for Russian competitors.
