Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Veronika Stepanova with her telegraph channel talked about the requirements of her coach Yegor Sorin.
“Egor Vladimirovich Sorin is a bit like Elon Musk: he wants to add a little more to each collection to ensure his employees, namely the athletes, can give a little more than before. Or not a little.
Therefore, those who complete the three-week collection in Malinovka are entitled to the honorary Sorin Belt. For a brilliant victory over yourself!”, — wrote Stepanova.
In the spring of 2022, the International Ski Federation (FIS) decided to exclude Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competitions until the end of the season. On October 22, this decision was extended for the 2022/23 season.
At a meeting of the executive committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on March 28, it was recommended that the Russians be allowed to have a neutral status, if the athletes are not actively engaged in supporting hostilities. Athletes representing law enforcement and armed forces will not be allowed to compete.
