Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova answered the Norwegian Ragnhilde Hage who supported a possible boycott of the 2023 World Cup due to Russian participation.
Previously, Ane Appelqvist Stencet, Anna Swensen and Haga backed Swedish skiers Maya Dahlquist and Lynn Swan in their bid to boycott the 2023 World Cup.
“It was strange for me to sit side by side with Stepanova and see all this,” Haga told NRK.
“Dear Ragnhild Haga, the only time we met was at the Olympics in Beijing, you could only see me from this side. I will leave you behind in the future, no “surrealism “, as you say, – wrote Stepanova on the Telegram channel.
At the end of February, the executive committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that federations ban Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in competitions because of the situation in Ukraine.
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.
