Five-time Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Johannes Klebo expressed the opinion that Russian athletes should not be allowed to participate in international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
– While Ukrainian athletes cannot train and perform, I believe that the Russians should be suspended. I still adhere to this position, — quotes the words of Klebo Dagbladet.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) at the end of February recommended that international federations not invite Russians and Belarusians to competitions. Many federations followed the recommendations and suspended athletes from the two countries.
