The Swedish Ski Association wants to stop Russian skiers from participating in the World Ski Championships in Falun.
Now the Italian Olympic city of Val di Fiemme has announced that it is ready to take over the hosting.
– It would have felt sloppy and very sad to say the least, says Maja Dahlqvist.
The head of the Val di Fiemme ski resort announced that he is ready to host the Nordic World Ski Championships instead of Sweden, which is pushing out the Russians.
