Estonia has joined other countries in banning Russian and Belarusian athletes from competitions due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. This decision follows similar actions by Norway, Finland, and Canada. The Estonian government communicated with the International Ski Federation (FIS), arguing that allowing these athletes would undermine support for Ukraine and enable propaganda. The FIS has stated its commitment to support athletes and local organizers amid this complex situation. Additionally, the FIS has relaxed its regulations, allowing athletes from these countries to compete if they sign a neutrality declaration. Recently, the Court of Arbitration for Sport annulled a ban on Russia imposed by the International Ice Hockey Federation, which faced criticism from several national federations.
