Klebo answered the question about the admission of Russian skiers to tournaments
Eleven-meter Olympic champion said that he is still against the admission of Russian skiers to the tournaments, but can not affect it
Eleven-time Olympic champion in ski racing Norwegian Johannes Klebo still opposes the admission of Russian athletes to international competitions. He told VG that.
My position has not changed, despite the fact that some Russians have been informed that they will be able to participate in tournaments. I spend very little time on things I can't influence. Whether there will be two Russians or five at the start of the season in Ruka (Finland) is beyond my control. Therefore, my goal is to approach the competition as prepared as possible, regardless of who goes to the start, said Klebo.
The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) admits Russians to international competitions in neutral status.
Unlike last season, when only two Russian skiers received neutral status to participate in international competitions, a much larger number of Russian athletes are expected to participate in the upcoming season. To date, FIS has already granted neutral status to several dozen Russian skiers.
