President of the Russian Ski Federation Elena Vyalbe in an interview with , she said that she sees no point in merging with other ski disciplines, since they are already part of the Russian Ski Sports Association.
Earlier, Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev said that the department supports the unification of federations not only in rowing, swimming and gymnastics, but also in other sports.
— Summer sports are actively gathering. What do you have?
– Honestly, I don’t know. Top leaders of the Ministry of Sports said that this will happen for us after 2026, after the Olympics. We have a ski sports association which includes everything except biathlon. It has been operating for over 40 years, I have been running it for six years, we organize elections. We are already united, we communicate closely with each other, there are no problems.
— They joke that soon football and hockey will be united under one roof.
“We were told that team sports would not be combined. But if we talk about the unification of federations, it is not yet very clear, there is no perspective for these steps, no positive aspect. Maybe in two years we will see some positives and admit that we were wrong,” Vyalbe told .
