2022 Olympic silver medalist in ski jumping Evgeny Klimov On he spoke about his thoughts on the idea of playing for another country.
Russians and Belarusians have been suspended from International Ski Federation (FIS) competitions since March 2022 due to the situation in Ukraine.
— There were no special thoughts as such (about moving to another country), there were more conversations. Many things were discussed. It’s interesting to think about it for yourself, what would happen if I moved to Europe or somewhere else, what would happen if I played for a European country. But I’m still interested in living here in Russia, playing for Russia. I grew up here and I have no plans to leave here. “I intend to continue competing for Russia,” Klimov said in the film from the “Faces of the Country” series on .
Klimov is 30 years old. He is the first winner of the Men’s Ski Jumping World Cup in the history of Russian sports, the first and only winner of the Summer Ski Jumping Grand Prix in the history of Russia and the USSR.
