Olympic medalist skier Alexander Bessmertnykh
commented on the words of the Secretary General of the International Ski Federation (FIS) Michel Vion, who hinted that Russian skiers could be admitted to international competitions.
– It’s good that FIS already has such thoughts. It is little clear how this will be implemented, but it certainly does not depend on us. If there are such thoughts in my head, then it would be good if our athletes started competing at the World Cups from the beginning of the season, proving and showing results. That would be great! But how will they implement it in the current situation? We see what problems begin with the visa regime to Europe. It won’t be that easy.
Even if we now want to fly to Europe, we will face a number of questions. It’s good that they think about it, and God forbid that everything is resolved before the start of the season. And there are many questions. I think the IOC came up with the initiative more. How many sources I read, probably, the position began (rather) with the IOC than with the Federations. I don’t know who should consult with whom. The Federation can allow, and the government of the countries can refuse, – Bessmertnykh told the Championship.

Guberniev: “The pests from the IBU refused the expedited procedure for considering our claim in CAS”
Presenter and commentator Dmitry Guberniev on Match TV reported that the International Biathlon Union (IBU) refused the accelerated procedure for considering the claim of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) to CAS regarding admission to international tournaments.
On December 11, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that the organization’s executive committee recommended that international federations not limit the access of athletes from Russia and Belarus to youth competitions in both individual and team disciplines. In addition, Russian and Belarusian athletes are allowed to compete at tournaments under national symbols, with the flag and anthem.
— Sergey Averyanov (head of the press service of the SBR) reports that the pests from the IBU refused the expedited procedure for considering our claim in CAS. We sent a separate request to the IBU regarding juniors and juniors. Will the federation listen to the International Olympic Committee, which recommended the return of young Russian and Belarusian athletes to international competitions? In other words, will the IBU be against our children? “This will be interesting,” Guberniev said on Match TV.
