The Russian Ski Federation announced Bolshunov’s plans after FIS refused to grant neutral status

FLSSR Secretary General Ekaterina Galkina confirmed that FIS rejected the application of the Russian skier for neutral status, citing non-compliance with the established requirements.

The representative of the Ministry noted that at the current stage she is forced to limit herself to stating the position of the international organization, according to which the Russian athlete allegedly does not meet the criteria of neutrality.

At the same time, she stressed that she does not have the right to disclose details of the situation, since Alexander Bolshunov plans to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

In order not to complicate further proceedings, the official proposed to adhere to this official wording.
