KURSK, June 26, Pavel Levkovich. Two-time Olympic champion of the 2014 Games in Sochi on snowboarding Vic Wilde said that skipping the World Cup and the World Championship due to the suspension of the Russian team is not of great importance to him, since the main thing is the Olympics. The Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) previously recommended that sports federations not allow Russian and Belarusian athletes because of the situation in Ukraine. «I'm not thinking about the upcoming season now, focusing on health and training, enjoying the summer. Moscow has good weather. I'm only grateful, it doesn't matter to me if we don't skate in the world next season, because I'm old, I don't want the World Cup, the World Championship and so on. The Olympics are important in four years,» said Wild, who is conducting a master class for children in Kursk as part of the national Olympic day. Wild, who will perform in August is 36 years old, after performing at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, he announced that he intends to end his sports career. President of the Russian Snowboard Federation Denis Tikhomirov announced that he would offer Wilde to become the coach of the Russian national team, but Vic refused such an offer.
