The International Ski Federation (FIS) has extended the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from competitions under its auspices until the end of the summer season, according to a release on the official website of the organization.
The decision was made on Tuesday at the first meeting of the newly elected FIS Council in Zurich.
– The current policy that Russian and Belarusian athletes cannot compete in FIS competitions outside of their countries will remain in place until the end of the summer season. The Council will return to this topic in the autumn as the situation in Ukraine develops, the FIS said in a statement.
In March, FIS followed the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and suspended the representatives of Russia and Belarus from international tournaments until the end of the 2021/22 season.

Biathlete Kristina Reztsova said on Match TV that skier Alexander Bolshunov does not greet her, despite the fact that they competed together at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.
– He doesn’t even say hello! How will he give me the phone number? He doesn’t say hello to anyone at all. I don’t deserve it. So I went to one Olympics with him. After the Games we saw each other everywhere. He doesn’t greet anyone. “He’s just such a person in life,” Reztsova said on the air of the “Biathlon with Dmitry Guberniev” program.
