The International Federation of Skiing Sports (FIS) at the meeting of the Council, on the eve of the organization’s Congress, extended the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from competition, writes with reference to the website of the federation.
“The current FIS policy, which does not allow Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials to participate in FIS competitions, will remain in force until further notice,” the FIS Council said in a statement.
