Russian skier Veronika Stepanova on her social networks responded to the Norwegian Emil Iversen, who supported the ban on Russians from competing in international competitions.
Earlier, the athlete said that the Russians should be removed until the power in the country changes.
– Usually I do not react to the opinions of others and ignore the questions of the Western media on this topic, but when I read what Emile Iversen said, I feel that I simply cannot and do not want to remain silent. When a fellow world-class skier sounds so patronizing and starts to openly advocate for what sounds like “regime change” in a neighboring country, it absolutely deserves a scathing response. Here is my. It won’t happen, Emil. Only we Russians will ever decide how we want to live and who will be our leader. The last thing we care about is the opinion of outsiders on this issue, including yours.
Your sports career has peaked, Emil. You will probably retire soon. You will have enough time to read the story. For example, about how “civilized Europe” already tried to “cancel” Russia about 100 years ago. And how it didn’t work out as planned for those who came up with the idea and who wanted to isolate and “change” Russia. But in some ways we are closer than you might think.
In Oslo, there is a monument at the (cemetery) “Vestre Gravlund”, near Holmenkollen. Monument to Soviet, Russian soldiers. It says “Norge Tacker Dere”. I suggest you take a look, Emil, as I did when I was in Norway last time. This can teach you how two neighbors should treat each other. Clue. Showing respect for our differences. It’s not too late to learn this,” Stepanova said.
At the end of February, the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that international sports federations not invite Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete because of the situation in Ukraine. On March 1, the Council of the International Ski Federation (FIS) decided not to allow Russians and Belarusians to participate in tournaments under the auspices of the organization at any level until the end of the 2021/22 season.

Thus, at the moment, the position of the IBU, for which the IBU Congress voted democratically, remains in force,” Winkler told Match TV.
