Russian athletes missed 14 stages of the 2021/22 World Cup in all freestyle disciplines due to denied entry to the US and Canada.

Due to the forced non-participation in the competition, six Russian athletes were unable to receive the points required for the Olympic qualifying quota. 

Despite the appeal of the Russian Olympic Committee and the Russian Freestyle Federation to the International Ski Federation (FIS) and the IOC, Russian athletes will miss the Olympic Games in Beijing.

Earlier it was reported that the skiers of the Russian national team are flying to Beijing in a plane full of people.
