Zhurova appreciated the words of Y. Boe, who objected to the admission of Russians to tournaments

Down-the-line.com/Biathlon. Olympic speed skating champion and now a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Svetlana Zhurova, shared her opinion on the words of Norwegian biathlete Johannes Boe. He previously said that most athletes would be against admitting athletes from Russia and Belarus to international tournaments.

“How does he know? It’s possible if the athletes are put under pressure. Stand in the back and say, ‘Just try to vote yes.’ Otherwise, only people who believe that in the absence Russians, they will have a better chance of winning a medal will.

Only then will an athlete support the exclusion of the other athlete from the competition. He is therefore afraid of competition. For me, that’s the only explanation. And politics has nothing to do with it,” Zhurova said as quoted by Vprognoze.ru.
