Skier Stupak criticized in Norway for training on the slopes of the World Cup in Italy
Norwegian Ski Federation President and International Ski Federation (FIS) board member Eric Reste criticized Russian skier Yulia Stupak for training in Italy. His words leads VG.
The anger of the Norwegian was caused by the fact that the Russian woman was engaged on the tracks intended for the World Cup stage. “Obviously she shouldn’t be training on the World Cup tracks when they are dedicated to competition,” he said. It is noted that Stupak during training was in a vest intended only for accredited athletes.
The head coach of the Russian national team Yuri Borodavko explained that in Italy the skier is preparing for the Championship Heights tournament. The competition will be held from February 23 to March 5, 2023 in the Arkhangelsk region.
On March 1, 2022, the Norwegian Ski Federation suspended Russian athletes from competitions held in the country. Later, the FIS extended the ban for Russians to all competitions under the auspices of the organization.
