Russian skiers will lose track speed as they return to international competition, Olympic champion tells Alexei Chervotkin .
The Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will consider the issue of admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes to international competitions on March 28, the meeting will last three days, after each press conference will be held.
– When the IOC examines the question of admission, it will then be possible to make comments. And now just point your finger to the sky. This topic can be procrastinated, but what’s the point of doing it now? Let us in – it will be fine. No, well, we’re going to compete. The question is different. When they let us in, and it will happen sooner or later, in what state will we return? All the same, in Russia we are not in such a tough competition, and our speed will decrease compared to foreigners. It will take time to adapt, and everything will be fine for us. Unless they let us in in 5-6 years, we will all be done with our careers,” Chervotkin told .
Previously, IOC President Thomas Bach had opposed political influence on sport and any proposal that Russian athletes would be treated as bearers of collective guilt. In January, the IOC announced that it might consider allowing Russians and Belarusians, who did not come out in favor of the CBO, to compete in a neutral status.
