Double Olympic champion Dmitry Vasilyev told that he is confident that Russian skiers and biathletes will return to the international stage in the coming year.
Russian skiers and biathletes have been suspended from participating in international competitions since February 2022 due to the situation in Ukraine.
“Sooner or later we will be allowed in and Russia will be invited back. » Western cross-country skiing and biathlon competitions with doped Norwegians are becoming uninteresting. The only country that can cause intrigue is Russia. Our athletes have always been irritants, spewing bile and hatred; it has become more difficult for them to live without us, without anyone on whom to pour out their abomination.
Bolshunov, our other athletes understand that this period will end soon. I think a year maximum and everything will come back. We must prepare for the return and set the conditions for the return, because we will come back winners. Here it must be said that our state provides good motivation to athletes, guaranteeing prize money, payments and organizing various tournaments even in conditions of suspension,” Vassiliev told .
