Olympic champion Sleptsova said that Norwegian biathletes do not have enough Russians
Olympic biathlon champion Svetlana Sleptsova said that the Norwegians missed their Russian rivals. Her words are quoted by “Championship”.
Sleptsova said that she communicates with the coach of the Norwegian national team, Siegfried Maze, who recalled the stages of the World Cup held in Russia. “The Norwegians loved it here. And in general he says that there are not enough Russians now,” she emphasized.
On March 7, President of the Russian Ski Racing Federation Elena Vyalbe spoke about the desire of foreigners to compete with Russians. She felt that athletes were being forced to remain silent.
Russians and Belarusians do not participate in international competitions by decision of the International Biathlon Union. The order came into force in March 2022 and will remain in effect until further notice.
