Four-time Norwegian Olympic champion Johannes Be commented on the removal of Russian athletes from world sports.
The Norwegian believes that the sanctions will help in the fight against Russia, which launched a full-scale war against Ukraine.
The athlete stated this in an interview with Dagblade .
“The exclusion of Russia looks like the only way to turn people against the authorities. And then this is at least a step in the right direction
In Russia, you can suddenly be imprisoned, and, probably, that is why many do not seek to say what they think, what is right and what is not,” Biot said.
Recall that the Court of Appeal of the European Handball Federation (EHF) rejected the request of the Russian Handball Federation and CSKA Moscow to stop the removal of Russian teams and clubs from tournaments under the auspices of the EHF.
