Swedish national team skiers are ready to boycott international competitions if Russian athletes are admitted

team skier Sweden Guillaume Poromaa told Expressen that he was ready to refuse to participate in international competitions if the International Ski Federation (FIS) allowed Russian athletes to join them.

– To what extent can this be relevant? In case they are only allowed in our sport, then the boycott will become relevant,” he said.

A similar position is occupied by a skier Frida Karlson . She stressed that she was against the performance of the Russians.

We need to clarify our position. And that’s the only way for us to do it,” she said.

In March, the International Ski Federation followed the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee and suspended Russians from competitions due to the situation in Ukraine until the end of the season. In July, the ban was extended.
