Oslo Mayor Anne Lindboe called on the Norwegian government to bar Russian athletes from participating in World Cup cross-country skiing stages in Holmenkollen. She demanded a review of the visa-exemption that allows professional Russian athletes to enter the country to compete.
Her appeal was prompted by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) decision to relax rules governing the admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes to competitions under a neutral status. According to available information, this status has already been granted to 173 athletes.
