President of Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe in an interview with , she commented on the information that two Russian athletes were trying to change their sports citizenship. However, the International Ski Federation (FIS) did not allow them to do so.
– The situation is already quite old – more than two months ago. The two sisters, who are skiers, wrote directly to FIS with a letter that they would like to change their sport citizenship. Their family had already moved to live in another country.
We found out who they were – skiers, skiers … As a result, we found out that the level of the children was still quite low. But because they applied incorrectly, since no one has the right to make a personal appeal, because you had to go to the association, the association had to go to the Israeli association. Between them, as they say, is to decide, and then submit it to the FIS for review. But the FIS did not even consider this case anywhere. They were simply told that they had no right to do so. All. This is where it all ended. There was a flurry of calls from the media. I said don’t write, because it would be seen as escaping the country, but it’s not. It didn’t even happen that way. They’re just looking for some pretty headlines right now to read. In reality, they are still children,” Vyalbe said.
