National Team Head Coach Russia cross-country skiing Yuri Borodavko told he supports the Norwegian’s idea Johannes Klebo who called for the return of Russian skiers to international departures.
Earlier, five-time Olympic champion Klebo said Russian skiers should be allowed to compete internationally “for the common good” because he “always wants to fight the strongest and defeat them”.
– This statement by Klebo shows once again that there is a corporate ethic, and that Klebo has not always been able to broadcast what he thinks. The closer the competition season approaches, the more common sense there is. The non-participation of Russian athletes is not only a blow to competition, to the visibility of competitions, but also a financial blow. Many sponsors, many spectators will refuse to watch, there will be a drop in interest in cross-country skiing. All this will lead to negative consequences for the entire International Ski Federation. I wish there were a lot more such sensible thoughts, so that our colleagues separate the flies from the chops,” Borodavko told .
Previously, Klebo had repeatedly said that the decision to withdraw Russian skiers from international competitions for political reasons was the right one.
