Italian biathlete Dorothea Wierer said that Russian biathletes could be seen again at the World Cup stages “Championship”.
“Russia is a really important country for world biathlon. There is no need to get involved in politics, let’s leave that to others. “It’s not up to me to decide, but I think we will see the Russians again at the World Cup,” Wierer said.
At the end of February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) appealed to international sports federations, recommending that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions. At the end of 2023, the organization decided to accept Russians and Belarusians as neutral athletes.
In the spring of 2022, the International Biathlon Union (IBU) announced its decision to admit Belarusian and Russian biathletes to the World Cup and IBU stages only as neutral athletes. As a result, the Russians decided to skip the competition at the end of the 2021/22 season. In September 2022, the organization extended the suspension indefinitely.
