Savely Korostelev Responds to Miki Fermoylens Comments: My Conscience is Clear

Russian skier Saveliy Korostelyov responded to the comments made by his Austrian colleague Miki Fermoylen, who claimed that the Russian athlete cried during their meeting because he is unable to compete at the Olympics.

«The last thing I want to do right now is delve into all of this, but it seems I have to address the issue at least once. I am an athlete; my focus is on sports, the training process, and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Never say never, but you will never hear political slogans or statements from me. That’s the realm of politicians. Regardless of the circumstances in the world, I will always adhere to the belief that ‘sports are outside of politics.’ To those who seek to profit from this situation: ‘Let that weigh on your conscience; mine is clear,'» wrote Korostelyov on his Telegram channel.
