biathlete Victoria Slivko on “”, she said that she would like to perform internationally, because she had a lot of fun this season.
On March 28, the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced recommendations for the admission of Russian athletes to international competitions. Recommendations include individual eligibility, neutral status, no team events, no entry for athletes associated with law enforcement.
– I’m having good races and a good season, I’m a little offended that I’m only spending it in Russia. It would be interesting now to try myself at the international level. It’s a pity, the years go by, you’re not getting any younger, the moment comes when you have to finish. 28 is not 20. All the same, I’m starting to think that one day I’ll have to leave and it will be very sad. Until I wanted to think about it. I am in charge of fighting and training. I can’t say when my career will end,” Slivko said on .
In February last year, the IOC Executive Board recommended federations not to invite Russians and Belarusians to compete due to the situation in Ukraine. In many sports, athletes from both countries were suspended from starts, some federations allowed them to be neutral without national symbols. Subsequently, IOC chief Thomas Bach opposed political influence on sport and any proposal to treat Russian athletes as bearers of collective guilt.
