Russian skiers are not welcome to compete in Norway because of “violations of international law and attacks on the Ukrainian people,” said the Nordic country's ski federation.
Gold medalist for the men's weather-shortened 50km mass start free cross-country skiing competition, Alexander Bolshunov, centre, of the Russian Olympic Committee stands with compatriot and silver medalist, Ivan Yakimushkin, left, and bronze medalist Simen Hegstad Krueger, right, of Norway on the podium during the closing ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics, Sunday, Feb. 20, 2022, in Beijing.
The Norwegian plea was also made days before Kvitfjell and Oslo host World Cup races in Alpine and cross-country skiing next weekend and while the country co-hosts the junior world championships in Nordic ski disciplines. Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine since Thursday requires “international condemnation and sanctions,” the Norwegian federation said.
On Friday, FIS pulled its remaining World Cup events this season from Russia but later allowed Russians to carry on competing.
