The unification of ski federations should make their development strategy more transparent and optimize administrative costs, the two-time Olympic biathlon champion, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, told . Sergei Chepikov .
had earlier learned that the ski federations could merge into one, as the aquatic federations and gymnastics federations had planned. It is planned that the Russian Ski Racing Federation, the Russian Alpine Ski Federation, the Russian Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined Federation, the Russian Freestyle Federation and the Russian Snowboard Federation will be under the wing of a single organization.
— It is clear that a possible merger would reduce administrative costs to some extent. Because there will already be an administrative apparatus. The number of people carrying out administrative activities will naturally decrease. We are currently going through a difficult time in our country; some sports federations should really unite. Unity can help. In the Sverdlovsk region, for example, it was decided to unite the skiing, Nordic combined and biathlon federation so that the work would be more effective.
The consolidation of ski disciplines within a single federation could help make their development strategy more transparent. The financing, I repeat, is optimized in terms of administrative costs. Because, for example, it will no longer be necessary for each federation to have a separate accountant, etc. But sports federations are public bodies, they have the right to express their own vision of these processes. Everything must be discussed and weighed correctly,” Chepikov told .
