The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) decided on Tuesday against the return of Russian athletes to the Olympic season. The FIS announced this result of a council meeting in the evening. This means that athletes from Russia and Belarus are not allowed to take part as so-called neutral athletes (AIN) in the FIS qualification events for the Winter Olympic Games (February 6th to 22nd) and the Paralympic Games (March 6th to 15th) in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. The decision was expected with some interest because FIS President Johan Eliasch is considered a supporter of a comeback.
