Double Olympic champion in biathlon Dmitry Vasiliev in a conversation with , he said that the exclusion of Russian skiers and biathletes from competitions in Sweden is a sign that the very idea of the sport will soon change.
Previously, Vasily Konov, deputy general producer of , said on his Telegram channel that Sweden refused to allow Russian skiers and biathletes to participate in the world championship among the military.
The sports world has gone crazy. Unfortunately, he got involved in politics, although sport has always been outside of politics. Sport in general was the few things that made the world reasonable – I mean its neutrality and its renunciation of politics. And now politicians involve athletes and sports organizations in their activities.
This, of course, is sad. This suggests that the sport will soon cease to exist in the form we are used to. He will manifest cruelty, injustice. Competitions will no longer be peaceful, the nature of holidays. It will first be a standoff, from pure hostility, to serious conflicts during competitions. And the people who have made sport an instrument of aggression are to blame. It’s a pity that countries like Sweden, which have always been neutral, succumb to these provocations and allow themselves to be manipulated,” Vasilyev told .
