Russian and Belarusian bobsledders are still barred from international competitions in pairs and foursomes and the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) has maintained restrictions. This was announced by the president of the Russian Bobsleigh Federation Anatoly Pegov. At the same time, athletes from Russia and Belarus can compete in international skeleton and monobob tournaments in neutral status. No further tests are needed to obtain it. "Europe is not yet ready to take such a step. We intend to fight for their rights together with the Russian Olympic Committee," Pagov said, referring to the non-acceptance of two- and four-year-old teams.
