Senior coach of the Russian cross-country ski team Yuri Borodavko in a conversation with , he called the idea of abandoning fluoride-containing ointments when preparing skis crazy.
According to the regulations of the International Ski Federation (FIS), the use of fluorinated wax in the preparation of skis is prohibited from the 2023/24 season.
— Should we give up ointments containing fluoride during Russian competitions?
– This is the craziest idea that can come to mind. And it is implemented by the FIS, there is nothing good in that. I don’t see any advantage in it. The logic of the FIS is clear: they have a “green” program, which includes ointments containing fluoride. But we see how they easily cross out this program for their own needs. Fluoride is not harmful enough to be abandoned for environmental reasons,” Borodavko told .
