“No one really hides anymore, we met at all levels, yesterday we had a private talk with the FIS President.

If before mobilization they were still considering the possibility of a neutral status, now these issues have been removed from the agenda.

This situation has greatly complicated, but we hope that prudence will prevail,” Vyalbe said.

According to her, the situation at the FIS congress in Zurich is normal, working.

“No one turns away, but there are interesting moments.

As everyone knows, the Norwegian association wrote that they were boycotting the meeting, but they are all here: when they meet, they greet, hug, shake hands, ”added Vyalbe.

Recall that the FIS has extended the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from participation in competitions for the entire summer season of 2022.

Earlier, Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Sergei Ustyugov spoke about his attitude to the removal of Russian athletes from participation in international competitions.
