Olympic medalist in cross-country skiing Maxim Vylegzhanin explained why the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will not lift sanctions against Russian athletes in the near future.
— To be realistic, we understand that many countries oppose it. As for skiing events, the FIS initially allowed Russians to compete in neutral status. But representatives of other teams spoke negatively. Letters were sent to the federation, and they had to give in.
Everything depends on the fact that the IOC will sooner or later. They are perfectly aware of everything and are waiting for the end of the special operation. In addition, the International Olympic Committee will come back to this question. You need to understand that they do not make decisions themselves, but are waiting for a call from above. But there is no need to wait for sudden changes for the better. Trust me, they’ll come crawling up to us. Everything will be different. And the way they behave now goes through no doors. People are dancing to the tune of the United States. You look and you are just surprised, – RT quotes Vylegzhanin.
