International Biathlon Union appreciated the entry of Norwegian athletes with the Ukrainian flag 19:15

The International Biathlon Union (IBU) said that they did not see a problem with Norwegian athletes appearing on the podium with the Ukrainian flag. The organization’s promises were made “VseProSport”.

“The IBU has allowed gestures of solidarity before. We do not see any problem in displaying this flag. The IBU stated that the way Norwegian athletes did this was in accordance with the statutes and rules.

Three Norwegian athletes, Sturla Lægreid, Tarjei Boe and Johannes Boe, were on the podium in the pursuit race at the World Cup in Oberhof (Germany). Ukrainian Dmitry Pidruchny, who ranked sixth, appeared at the flower ceremony with his country’s flag, and Norwegians took photos with him as a sign of solidarity.

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. From this moment on, Russian athletes were suspended from tournaments under the auspices of the International Biathlon Union.
