Russian attack on Norway: "They are not used to losing"

Yesterday, the Norwegian Ski Association announced that they are stopping their active participation in the World Cup final in North America due to the corona virus.

This means that Johannes Kläbo can lose the victory in the sprint cup.

The Russian Aleksandr Bolshunov can still go about the Norwegian sovereign. But instead of cheering, Russia's longtime head Jelena Välbe believes that Norway is afraid.

- The fact that Norway refuses to travel to the United States is their problem. I do not understand what they are afraid of. I think they are not used to losing and here they have a good reason - the corona virus, she tells Sport24 according to NRK.

She believes that the International Ski Federation, and not nations, should decide whether or not countries should stand for World Cup competitions.
