The International Skiing Federation (FIS) is open to allowing Russian skiers to compete internationally again this winter, even though the war in Ukraine is far from over.

That causes Svahn and Dahlqvist to be prepared to boycott the WC in Planica.

- Here and now I would undoubtedly be prepared for it, says Svahn to TT.

Dahlqvist agrees:

- Absolutely, that's how I think most people are reasoning right now.

This is something that is bigger than the sport, she says about the boycott.

The former Russian ski star Jelena Välbe, president of the Russian Ski Federation, ignores the Swedes' boycott threats:

- Nothing to worry about, let them boycott.

The championship loses its appeal without us, she tells Sport24, according to Championat.

Even former Olympic champion Alexander Legkov thinks that the Swedish boycott threat is nothing to worry about.

- Let them stay at home, no problem.

The most important thing is that our skaters get to compete, he tells Sport-Express.
