Alexander Bolshunov said that he was touched by the phrase of the Norwegian skier “we missed you”
Russian skier Alexander Bolshunov spoke about the words that touched him from the Norwegian rival. His words are quoted by TASS.
“This week, an athlete from the Norwegian national team wrote to me with the phrase “come to us, we miss you.” He said that you need to turn negative thoughts around and leave what is happening aside, ”recalled the 26-year-old athlete. Bolshunov considered that this was proof that sport should remain a sport, and the best should compete with the best.
On March 16, Bolshunov appreciated the dominance of the Norwegians in cross-country skiing. He called it a sad trend for world sport.
In March 2022, the Norwegian Ski Federation suspended the Russians from participating in tournaments under its auspices. Later, the International Ski Federation extended this measure to all international competitions organized by it.
