Along with hockey, don't forget skiing. There, Alexander Bolshanov and Veronika Stepanova submitted applications for neutral status to the FIS. That is, in order to participate in competitions without the flag and the anthem. In the past, Stepanova said she would never perform without the anthem, but now she wants to. And rightfully so, it is wrong to wave along with the party line, because in any case the wind blows in different directions. As for Bolshunov, he may have problems getting status due to his connection with the Russian guard and loud statements. But even in case of refusal, you must appeal. In addition, we have to continue the tests to return to biathlon and skiing with the flag and the anthem, now we have experience.
