Two-time Olympic champion Vic Wild complained that he couldn’t find a job in Russia because he wasn’t considered fit for the sport. Transmits words “Championship”.
“It may come to the point of not being able to find a job in sports in Russia. I didn’t do drugs, I didn’t break the law, I didn’t steal anything – why am I not allowed to work here? I’ve been out of payment many times because someone, somewhere, was trying to play some games. This is so annoying.
Regardless, I’m still in Russia, my life is in Russia. I plan to stay in Russia. I’ll just say that I understand people who leave sometimes,” Wilde said.
Wilde won an Olympic bronze medal in the parallel giant slalom in 2022. He managed to win two gold medals in the tournament in 2014.
He played in the USA until the 2010/11 season. After marrying Russian snowboarder Alena Zavarzina, she decided to get a second citizenship. In 2021, the couple announced their divorce.
