Three-time Olympic cross-country skiing champion Alexander Bolshunov has urged waiting for the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) executive committee on the admission of Russian athletes before discussing possible departures.
On March 29, a meeting of the IOC Executive Committee will take place, during which a decision will be made on the future of Russian athletes.
– I have never had such debuts with Olympic champions than here in Kazan. But it’s very cool. The children look at us, they want to beat us, they have a lot of emotions, they are awarded diplomas and medals, their eyes light up, they want to train even more.
Even when there are such departures, we are still training. Now I’m a little sick. For me, it’s such a difficult time when there’s no competition, no training. I even worry a bit, but there is nothing to do, I need to be treated and then go to training and starts.
The season passed very quickly. It looks like they were just getting started, but there are already several competitions left. There have been many departures. Their number is comparable to what there was at the stages of the World Cup, the World Championships.
Although there is uncertain information about admission. There is no reliable information whether we will act under a neutral flag or not under a neutral flag. It is a decision that will be made as of March 29. That’s when we’ll talk.
Now it makes no sense to think and think about what will happen in two weeks, what decision will be made. Because it can change dramatically, – the correspondent of reports Bolshunov’s words.
