Yury Borodavko, head coach of the Russian cross-country ski team, expressed hope that Alexander Bolshunov will continue to compete in international tournaments.
“Alexander is still a fairly young athlete. He did not achieve all the goals that he set for himself. I hope he will please us with his results for a long time. Of course, I can not say what thoughts he visited – it’s better to ask him.
Neutral status for the World Cup and the Olympics? Again, this question is for Alexander, because he is already an adult and independent person, who has the right to make decisions on his own, ”explains Borodavko. “Sport every day”.
Recall that the International Ski Federation (FIS) decided to exclude Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competitions until the end of last season, and then extended the sanctions. They missed the final stages of the 2021/22 World Cup.
Norway’s Johannes Klebo leads the overall World Cup standings this season. Last season he was also the winner, ahead of Alexander Bolshunov.
