“Everything went as expected.
Exactly the same decision was made as before, ”quotes the Swedish member of the FIS government Mats Aries NRK.
On September 30, the head of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, proposed to allow Russian athletes to participate in international competitions under a neutral flag if they distance themselves from the situation in Ukraine.
FIS previously extended the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from participation in the competition for the entire summer season of 2022.
Earlier, the President of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR), Elena Vyalbe, said that the Scandinavian countries would refuse entry to Russian athletes even if they were admitted to international competitions.
