Honorary President of the Russian Olympic Committee (OKR ) Alexander Zhukov in an interview with a correspondent, he expressed the opinion that state and commercial structures should pay attention to sports in a difficult situation.
— Companies are investing in Russian sport, we can see that. Of course, there are different types – somewhere more sponsors, somewhere less. The state should help in a difficult situation by stimulating business and allocating additional funds.
– Ok, the situation is strange: the skiers have 11 medals in Beijing 2022, but there are no sponsors to allocate start bonuses in the country.
— I’m sure there will be funds to support our skiers. They really are the best in the world. Sponsors will definitely appear, Zhukov told .
Earlier, Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) President Elena Vyalbe told that there will be no prize money for skiers next season at Russian national competitions due of lack of funds.
