FLGR President Elena Vyalybe, a three-time Olympic champion, suggested that in order for Russia to return to international sports, a "bomb" should be dropped in the center of London. She emphasized that the West has never loved our country. Vyalybe commented on the mass exclusion of Russian athletes from international tournaments. According to Vyalybe, Russians will eventually return to international sports, but it is not worth expecting this immediately after the end of hostilities. The International Ski Federation (FIS) has extended the suspension of Russian athletes. Russian figure skaters may be allowed to compete in international tournaments.
Vyalybe stated that if a serious bomb were to be dropped in the center of London, everything would have already ended 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 pretended to.
