Our CIFP Council Member Cheche Vidal has created a six-article series as the result of systematizing and exploring how AI can assist humans in the evaluation of ethical excellence in athletic performances at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games — as part of the CIFP/IOC Fair Play Award process. The series will also be published weekly on the International Fair Play website. The first of the six articles is titled: “The Character of Champions: Ilia Malinin, Virtuosity Beyond Gold.”

On this International Women’s Day, the International Fair Play Committee celebrates the incredible contributions of women to the world of sport. We remain dedicated to a future where every woman and girl, regardless of geography, has the fundamental access to play, compete, and embrace a healthy lifestyle. Fair play starts with equal opportunity.

The International Committee for Fair Play (CIFP), in collaboration with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), is proud to announce that American figure skater Ilia Malinin has been named as the recipient of the Milano Cortina 2026 Fair Play Award.

With Milano Cortina 2026 complete, the Fair Play Awards will spotlight standout acts of sportsmanship, integrity and solidarity from the Olympic Winter Games. Here’s how to submit your nominations.
