Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova in a column on , she gave a forecast of the development of events in the winter season against the backdrop of the energy crisis in Europe.
The first stage of the new season’s World Cup will take place from November 25 to 27 in Finland’s Ruka. In Norway, four stages must pass (in Lillehammer, Beitostolen, Oslo and Drammen). The decision on the participation of Russian skiers in the competition will be made at the end of October.
– Norway only benefits from the problems of the rest of Europe. I have no doubt that the World Cup stages in Lillehammer, Drammen and Oslo will take place. But in other places, I’m not sure. Alpine resorts and in ordinary times prayed for snowfall so they wouldn’t have to turn on the snow cannons, but now that electricity prices have quintupled, how are they going to do it? I don’t think, they will just cancel the races,” Stepanova wrote.
