International Ski Association (FIS) President Johan Eliash told Dagbladet that the question of the return of Russian athletes to competitions under the auspices of the organization depends on the position of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
After the start of the Russian Federation’s special operation in Ukraine, the IOC recommended that international federations not allow Russians to compete under their auspices.
“We are closely monitoring the actions of the IOC and will follow what they say.
“Whatever their decision?”
– In all likelihood, yes, – said Elias.
Previously, the Norwegian Ski Federation had threatened to boycott the competition if the Russians were admitted to international competitions.
Russian athletes can no longer participate in tournaments under the auspices of the FIS due to a suspension. Earlier, Russian Ski Racing Federation President Elena Vyalbe told that the decision on admitting Russians to international competitions will be taken by FIS in October.
