GENEVA, September 10. /TASS/. The International Skating Union (ISU) has rejected the appeals of Russian figure skaters Kamila Valieva and Mark Kondratyuk against the revocation of their neutral status, the ISU’s press office announced on Thursday.
Last month, the ISU granted neutral status to Valieva and Kondratyuk for their participation in international tournaments but revoked it earlier this month. The athletes appealed the decision.
Valieva, 20, earlier decided to resume her figure skating career after completing a four-year ban imposed over anti-doping rules’ violation. The figure skater was officially permitted to begin training sessions starting on October 25, 2025.
Kondratyuk, 23, is the Olympic bronze medalist in the team event and also the 2022 European champion.
