CAS will make a decision on the appeal of the Russian Curling Federation

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne plans to make a final decision next week on the appeal of the Russian Curling Federation against the exclusion of Russian athletes from international competitions. RIA Novosti reports this with reference to the press secretary of the authority, Vanessa Tracy.

On Tuesday, a hearing on the FCR complaint was held in the Swiss city. The Russian side is challenging the extension of the suspension of adult athletes. The deadline for a decision is October 18.

Previously, the World Curling Federation in January 2026 allowed Russian juniors to participate in international tournaments with the flag and anthem, but maintained restrictions for adults. In August of the same year, the organization extended the suspension of adult athletes until the end of 2026, despite recommendations from the International Olympic Committee to lift the restrictions once the membership of the Russian Olympic Committee is restored.
