Three-time Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Alexander Bolshunov shared his opinion about the return of Russian skiers to the World Cup.
The International Ski Federation (FIS) has previously extended the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from participation in competitions for the entire summer season 2022. The FIS Council will return to the topic of the suspension of skiers from Russia and Belarus in the fall, as the situation in Ukraine develops.
— I am optimistic. I hope that the FIS leaders will come to the conclusion that all the strongest, regardless of nationality, should compete in international competitions. Let FIS take a risk and become an exception to the general trend. Why not? – quotes the words of Bolshunov “Championship”.
