The statement by the Secretary General of the International Ski Federation (FIS) Michel Vion suggests that work is probably underway on the issue of the return of Russian and Belarusian skiers to international competitions, Sergey Kryanin, vice-president of the Russian Ski Federation ski racing (FLGR), told .
On Thursday, VG released a statement from Vion that the return of Russian and Belarusian skiers to the World Cup could take place in December. This decision can be taken after the appropriate recommendation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Vion also noted that if allowed, Russian and Belarusian athletes would likely go to neutral status initially.
– Vion’s statement suggests that, most likely, work is being done on the issue of the return of Russian and Belarusian skiers. At the end of September, we have planned a trip and participation in the FIS committees, where it will be explained what decision will be made. Admittedly, I have not yet seen this question on the agenda. Perhaps he will be elevated to the rank of president of the FIS.
I think our competitors and FIS partners understand that Russia is a strong team. If it goes out of the competitive field, it will lead to lower grades. The presence of Russian skiers is necessary to maintain the status of the competition.
As for a possible speech in a neutral statute, my opinion is that it is unacceptable. We have a flag and an anthem, we must defend it. If you come back, then come back completely. You have to stand on it. What happens at the end, I don’t know. The decision will be taken collectively,” Kryanin told .
At the end of February, the IOC’s executive committee recommended that federations ban Russian and Belarusian athletes from taking part in competitions due to the situation in Ukraine. Many federations have followed these recommendations.
