The official account of the 2026 Olympic Games posted a photo of Valieva

On October 26, the Organizing Committee of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games posted a photo of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva on the Instagram social network (owned by Meta, whose activities are recognized as extremist and banned in Russia).

The fast was timed to coincide with World Pasta Day. The pictures show athletes participating in winter sports and the kind of pasta they are compared to.

Valiyeva's performance was compared to fusilli paste, which looks like long spiral threads similar to a screw or a spring.

Hopes for the new IOC leadership turned out to be in vain, but there is still good news.

On September 27, the press service of the International Skating Union (ISU) reported that Russian figure skaters are not allowed to compete at the World and European Championships in a neutral status. It is limited to the qualifying round for the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2026.
