Adeliia Petrosian

Adeliia Petrosian is an 18-year-old Russian figure skater making her Olympic debut at the 2026 Winter Games in Milan. She is considered a medal contender, having established a strong resume prior to the Games. Petrosian's participation is newsworthy due to her ties to coaches and a skater involved in a doping scandal at the previous Winter Olympics. She has limited international skating experience outside of Russia since 2022, having only competed outside of Russia once. Her performance at the Milan Olympics is significant as it marks her first major international competition in several years and places her under scrutiny given the past doping controversies surrounding figures associated with her training.
