It's according to Jan Petter Saltvedt.

So 47 countries were asked about whether the Russians should be allowed back, 60% of those voted yes. A FIS member said that Norway (shocking) overruled/rejected so it was canceled.

I expect to see something that we saw in Trondheim. The Norwegian men and Swedish women dominating.

And those same world championships are hit by a big financial scandal.

Some are saying that nobody would have boycotted had the ban been lifted. I don't know. I don't trust what some of them say anymore.

It was one vote away from Eliasch’s voting to break the tie, and obviously had it been 12-10 in Russia’s favor, they would have been allowed to start, allegedly. I say allegedly because I am sure the ones voting for the ban would have kept pursuing for it. In any case, totally unnecessary...

I thought he was from Ohio?

Fossesholm retires at age 24. Going to med school. Not the worst career move, especially when you have dealt with injury problems and lack of motivation.
