Most Russians are marginalized
Yelena Välbe, president of the Russian Ski Racing Federation, has said under what condition Russian athletes would be returned to the world stage. She suggested "throwing a serious bomb on London" to return to world sport."If we threw a serious bomb on the center of London, everything would be over and we would have been allowed everywhere. Russia's struggle with the outside world has been going on for centuries. We have never been loved, even when they pretend to love us. They always stand with a shiv behind their backs," Yelena Välbe said.She is confident that sooner or later all restrictions for Russia will be lifted."They have nowhere to go either, because this can't go on forever. If a year ago I said that we would be returned at the end of the special military operation, now I realize that even at the end of the special operation, nothing will happen quickly. It will take more than one year to return to the international stage," the former skier added.
