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.
