MOSCOW, Jan 20 Figure skater Mikhail Kolyada was included in the Russian national team for the Olympics in Beijing, according to the website of the Russian Figure Skating Federation. Earlier, the media wrote that the FFKKR coaching council voted against Kolyada's participation in the Olympic team tournament, but then one of the council members denied this information. In December, Kolyada won the silver of the Russian championship, but withdrew from the pre-Olympic Euro due to injury. Russian Mark Kondratyuk won the European championship, while Andrey Mozalev and Evgeny Semenenko took fourth and fifth places.
