Executive Director of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) Alexander Pak told that the words of Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjoerndalen would not be heard in the International Union (IBU).
Previously, Bjoerndalen had hoped that biathletes from the Russian Federation would return to international tournaments.
— I don’t think the IBU will hear it. Everything is so politicized that no one will hear the opinion of individual athletes, even if it is not one, but several. The athlete’s last name does not matter at all,” Pak told .
Björndalen – eight times Olympic champion, 20 times world champion, six times World Cup winner.
Russian biathletes have been suspended from competitions under the auspices of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) in spring 2022.
