Ukrainian biathlete Olga Abramova admitted that she does not support the boycott of the World Cup stage, which will be held in Tyumen from March 22 to 25. The sportswoman noted that the sport should remain out of politics, since for any biathlete the starts at the World Cup are considered very important competitions. "In fact, we have a normal dialogue with everyone. But still we communicate more with our diaspora: Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians, "Abramova told the Tyumen Arena. Biathlonist shared her plans for the future, noting that she wants to take part in the competition "Pearl of Siberia". "At the World Cup today really proved myself, I could not. This season is generally not very successful for me. I think that I went over the loads, then did not move, "- said the athlete. Recall that earlier the Czech Republic, the United States and Canada decided not to compete.

However, the boycott of the Czech representatives was only a fiction. Members of the American team also refused to participate in the Cup. Athletes motivated their decision by wanting to support clean sports and are worried about their own safety, previously reported "Morning". The winner of two awards at the Olympics in South Korea Swede Sebastian Samuelsson also actively boycotts against competitions in Russia. Instead of the Russian stage, he plans to compete in the national championship in cross-country skiing.
