The Russian cross-country team is preparing for the next Olympics, the schedule for the next season is designed for two possible scenarios – with admission and non-admission to international departures, Elena Vyalbe, head of the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Federation competition (FLGR), told .
– You said recently that you still hope that in the fall we will be allowed to participate in international competitions. Is there a deadline after which you have to decide on the schedule?
– Our calendar is already established with both a plan “A” and a plan “B” – with and without participation in international competitions. We are first training for the next Olympic Games.
– We have to book hotels, arrange visas in case of something…
– It won’t be the worst problem if they announce that they will let us in. We can and will succeed. The main thing is that people clear their heads and say that sport is out of politics.
The International Ski Federation (FIS) in March suspended Russians from participating in competitions under its auspices until the end of the 2021/22 season due to the situation in Ukraine.
