Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronique Stepanova said he considered the grounds for the International Olympic Committee’s sanctions to be far-fetched.
In March 2023, the IOC recommended that Russians who have not publicly supported the SVO and are not associated with military structures be allowed to compete in neutral status. This decision does not apply to team sports.
— Are the IOC and international sports federations trying to prevent Russian athletes from entering “on the basis of their membership in sports societies or law enforcement agencies”? This is not a reason, but complete bullshit, speaking in a language they understand.
We will return to the competition as we are. Without hiding – proud! — Stepanova wrote on the Telegram channel.
The International Ski Federation (FIS) has denied Russian athletes access to international tournaments.
