Athletistic/ Others. Olympic cross-country skiing champion, chairwoman of the Norwegian Athletes’ Committee, Astrid Jacobsen, said her remarks about admitting Russians to international competitions were mishandled.

“The admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes was considered in terms of values. There are many questions about how this will happen in practice and what the consequences will be.

But we want the sports movement to try to fulfill its mission. it’s difficult if we suspend someone solely on the basis of their passport. It’s discrimination, even the UN thinks so. It is a violation of human rights,” Jacobsen said.
