KAZAN, February 25, Vadim Kuznetsov. Director of the Tyumen Cross-Country Skiing and Biathlon Federation Yuri Lobanov said that he would propose to hold an analogue of the Goodwill Games in Russia instead of the canceled Ski World Cup Final. The International Ski Federation (FIS) on Friday announced the postponement of all competitions in Russia for security reasons. «Tyumen was ready to host stage of the World Cup in the highest class. FIS did not communicate with us about the postponement of the competition. We understood that there was such a possibility. Canceled and canceled. I would not let the team go to Sweden (for the World Cup), but held a World Cup stage in Tyumen , but by analogy with the 1980 Olympics of the Goodwill Games in cross-country skiing. And I would see where the countries would go — to Sweden or to us, for alternative competitions,» Lobanov said.
