2006 Olympic cross-country ski champion Yevgeny Deniev spoke about the state of Russian skiing in the absence of international competitions.
In September 2023, the International Ski Federation (FIS) extended the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competitions.
— The lack of international departures didn’t scare the guys. They didn’t treat their work any worse. They showed that they were professionals. At the Cup and the Russian Championship, they give everything they have. For this, special thanks to them, as well as to the management, which created the opportunity for the guys to realize themselves. If our athletes went to the World Cup today, they would set the tone there,” Dementyev was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
