Bolshunov said that the Norwegians are waiting for the Russians to return to international tournaments
Three-time Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Alexander Bolshunov spoke on the Rossiya 24 TV channel about communicating with Norwegian athletes.
Bolshunov said that the Norwegians are waiting for the Russians to return to international tournaments. “The guys from the marathon series recently wrote: “We are waiting for you in Trondheim.” It seems like there are more and more of them every day,” he shared.
On February 5, the mayor of Trondheim, Norway, Kent Ranum, spoke out against the participation of Russians in the 2025 World Cup, including in neutral status. He said that domestic athletes would not be welcome in Trondheim.
On October 25, 2023, the Council of the International Ski and Snowboard Federation extended sanctions against Russian athletes. For the first time, restrictions on the performance of Russians at international ski tournaments were imposed in March 2022.
