Dmitry Svishchev, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports, expects sports officials across the country to take firm action to ensure the admission of Russian freestylers to tournaments in the United States and the United States. Canada, whose admission will challenge selection for the Olympics. Members of the national team cannot obtain permission to enter the United States and Canada to participate in the World Cup stages due to the non-recognition of the Russian vaccine.
“The non-admission of Russian athletes to qualifying competitions for the Olympics is a complete disgrace that needs to be dealt with. Recently, the same situation occurred in luge sports, and our leaders successfully transferred the World Cup stage to Russia. Obviously, the International Freestyle Federation does not work well here, so there is a need (to connect) both Alexey Kurashov and Elena Vyalba, as the Freestyle Federation is a member of the Ski Sports Association and represents our interests in FIS. [международной федерации лыжного спорта]… I think they will give a harsh answer to the international federation and not insult our athletes.
There can be no (objective) reason if our athletes are not allowed to participate in the World Cup qualifying phase. The International Freestyle Federation must stand up for the interests of all athletes, not just Americans or Canadians. I think the question here is not only about visas or necessary vaccines, but also other unsportsmanlike things “, – Svishchev is quoted as saying”RBK Sport“.
