Bjorn Takle Friis, director of communications at Norwegian company Coop, one of the main sponsors of the International Ski Federation (FIS), said the company would stop sponsoring the organization if Russian skiers were allowed to start the season. coming.
On Thursday, VG released a statement from FIS General Secretary Michel Vion that in December the door to the World Cup could be “open” to Russians and Belarusians. Such a decision may be taken after the appropriate recommendation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
– We expect the FIS to refute the information on this subject as soon as possible. We do not believe that Vion’s statements are true. We have already discussed with the FIS and expressed our opinion on this issue. It is absolutely impossible to accept this. We cannot continue to act as a sponsor if our point of view is not taken into account,” Friis told the Norwegian edition of NRK.
