Olympic cross-country ski champion Veronica Stepanova in a column on , she wrote that the leaders of the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) still adhere to old competition formats and think in categories from the last century.
Russian and Belarusian athletes are suspended from participation in competitions under the auspices of the FIS.
— The FIS is populated mainly by Scandinavians and Finns, all of whom dream of the days of their bygone youth. This is probably when Mike Tyson was young and eliminated all his opponents in the first minute of the fight. And now he’s fighting with a blogger and losing. But there are 70,000 spectators in the stadium and the price is 10 times higher than 30 years ago. Watch and remember: now it’s a sport! And those who don’t like it are swimming against the tide. I wish them not to waste their energy and land.
Competitions must take place where it is convenient for television and spectators. And make sure they are monitored and discussed,” Stepanova wrote.
