2023–2024 season: Debut of Ruud Reitan/Majorov
In spring 2023, Ruud Reitan teamed up with Swedish singles skater, Nikolaj Majorov, with plans to compete for Sweden. It was subsequently announced that the team would train in Oberstdorf, Germany under Rostislav Sinicyn and Natalia Karamysheva.[2][3][4]
Ruud Reitan/Majorov debuted as a team at the 2023 Nebelhorn Trophy, where they placed thirteenth and earned a high enough technical score in the rhythm dance to compete at the European Championships.[5] They next competed at the 2023 Budapest Trophy, finishing eighth, and earning the minimum technical scores to compete at both the European and World championships.[6] They subsequently finished fourth at the 2023 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge.[7]
In December, the team won their first national title at the 2024 Swedish Championships. The following month, they competed at the 2024 European Championships in Kaunas, Lithuania and placed twenty-seventh with a technical error.[8] In March, they competed at the 2024 World Championships in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. They were the first Swedish ice dance team to compete at the World Championships since 1982.[6] They placed twenty-eighth and did not advance to the free dance.
2024–2025 season
Ruud Reitan/Majorov started the season by competing on the 2024–25 Challenger Series, placing ninth at the 2024 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge, sixth at the 2024 CS Nepela Memorial, and ninth at the 2024 CS Warsaw Cup.[7]
In December, they won their second consecutive national title at the 2025 Swedish Championships. They followed up this result by winning silver at the 2025 Bavarian Open. Going on to compete at the 2025 European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, Ruud Reitan/Majorov finished the event in seventeenth place. They then went on to win gold at the 2025 Maria Olszewska Memorial.[7]
Ruud Reitan/Majorov finished the season by competing at the 2025 World Championships in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. They placed twenty-fifth in the rhythm dance and did not advance to the free dance segment.[7]
2025–26 season: Milano Cortina Olympics
Ruud Reitan/Majorov opened their season by competing at the final Olympic qualifying event, the 2025 Skate to Milano, finishing fifth overall. They were subsequently named as the first alternates for the 2026 Winter Olympic ice dance team.[7][9]
They then went on to compete on the 2025–26 Challenger Series, winning bronze at the 2025 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge. One month later, they competed at the 2025 CS Warsaw Cup but withdrew following the rhythm dance.[7]
In early December, it was announced that Skating Finland had given up their second ice dance berth for the 2026 Winter Olympics. As a result, the Olympic spot was given to Ruud Reitan/Majorov, making it the first time in history that a Swedish ice dance team had qualified for the Winter Olympics. Whether Ruud Reitan/Majorov could accept this berth was dependent on Ruud Reitan being able to obtain Swedish citizenship before the end of January.[10][11] That same month, the team won their third consecutive national title at the 2026 Swedish Championships.[7]
In early January, it was announced that Ruud Reitan had managed to obtain Swedish citizenship, making her and Majorov eligible to compete at the upcoming Olympics.[12] That same month, Ruud Reitan/Majorov finished thirteenth at the 2026 European Championships in Sheffield, England, United Kingdom.[7]
