It is forbidden for athletes from the Russian Federation and Belarus to participate in Norwegian competitions
The Ministry of Justice and Internal Security gave instructions to deport Russian and Belarusian athletes who come to Norway to participate in competitions, writes VG. The changes will take effect "soon".
"Norway already has a restrictive visa policy for citizens of Russia and Belarus, but now the country is making its entry rules even stricter," said Minister of Justice and Homeland Security Astrid Aas-Hansen.
This means that Russian athletes could be barred from the World Cup in Trondheim in December, despite being certified as neutral competitors by the FIS ski federation (FIS granted neutral status to 322 Russian and Belarusian athletes).
