MOSCOW, March 9 Beijing 2022 Olympic champion skier Natalia Nepryaeva is sure that, against the backdrop of the situation in Ukraine, it would not be safe for Russian skiers to perform in Norway. In an interview with Sport-Express, the Russian woman said that she had received threats in Norway. «Because of the behavior of some local scumbags. They approached the hotel almost with threats. They shouted something. You think: «Get out of here, huh?» Well, really, it was scary. And imagine — Holmenkollen. There is always a living corridor of fans. Of drunken fans! Yes, and Drammen is an urban sprint. Even if we were allowed to run, hardly anyone would risk it,» said the skier.
