Olympic champion Vic Wild said he is going to represent Russia in the IOC
Olympic champion in parallel giant slalom Vic Wild spoke about how he is fighting for Russian athletes to have the opportunity to compete at international tournaments. His words are quoted by “Sport Day by Day”.
The athlete said that he was going to represent Russia in the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and fight for the rights of Russian athletes. To do this, he contacted the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and the Ministry of Sports, but a decision has not yet been made.
In October 2022, Wild explained the decision to remain in Russia. The snowboarder said that the country needs him. He added that for him, leaving is an attempt to escape from problems, and not a way to solve them.
Wild was born in the USA and received a Russian passport in 2012. As a member of the Russian national team, the snowboarder won two gold medals at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi. He also won bronze at the 2022 Games in Beijing.
