The head of the Finnish Ski Association supported the idea of banning Russians from entering the Schengen area to participate in competitions.
Previously, this was proposed by the country's foreign minister, who noted that the European Commission was already working on it.
"Both I personally and the Finnish Ski Association are satisfied from the bottom of my heart that the Minister of Foreign Affairs has taken a firm position on this issue. It is good that the state is considering possible measures in this situation.
These measures will help us now, because we, as a sports federation, have no legal tools to take measures against Russian athletes coming to the country. ", said the chairperson Sirfa Kurkati.
What shame and shame it will be upon you, gentlemen, Finnish skiers! You really think you can compete and get the medals you deserve after that.
No matter how it is! Such unsportsmanlike behavior will completely eliminate all possible and amazing victories on the ski track and in other sports. It's a shame that such short-sighted stupidity also defeated the Norwegian and Swedish ski federations. But the Swedes will be the hosts of the World Ski Championships this winter.
It is clear why the Scandinavians have such a wild fear of competitors from Russia. Yes, because they are afraid of Russia's return to world sports. After all, our surfers are our real strength.
And out of sporting anger, after four years of suspension, they will tear everyone apart on the ski slope, as they have done so many times in the past! Even despite the traditionally strong position of Norwegian athletes. After all, unsportsmanlike behavior is a sign of weakness, and nothing more!
