Senior coach of the Russian cross-country ski team Yuri Borodavko told that Trondheim Mayor Kent Ranum’s statement regarding Russian participation in the 2025 World Cup seems ridiculous and naive.
Previously, Ranum expressed the position of the local government, which did not intend to allow Russian athletes to compete. Trondheim will host the next World Ski Championships.
“I’m not surprised by anything anymore.” This is another attempt to promote a sports theme. I think we are still not expected at this World Cup in 2025. But it is not up to the mayor of the city to decide whether to admit us or not, because the decision is made in a completely different place. The statement by the Mayor of Trondheim seems ridiculous and naive. He will be the last person to be questioned about the participation of Russian athletes in competitions,” Borodavko told .
Since March 1, 2022, Russian skiers no longer participate in international tournaments; sanctions were imposed by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS).
