"I woke up and they were already looking at me": Russian woman complains about being kicked out of the World Cup after Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Russian skier Anastasia Faleeva has complained that her attitude toward foreign rivals has changed dramatically since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The 23-year-old recalled how she was literally kicked out of the World Youth Championships in Norway last February.

Faleeva, who was punished by the Russian Federation for having thoughts of competing at the Olympics in a neutral status, spoke about this in an interview with Sports.ru. The Russian woman was surprised that her attitude towards her deteriorated in just a few hours, and she was happy to return to the aggressor country.

Earlier, Russian skier Veronika Stepanova, whose intelligence fans compared to a washing machine, expressed confidence that athletes from the Russian Federation will compete at the 2026 Olympics.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, the head coach of the Russian cross-country skiing team, Vladimir Borodavko, dreamed of winning the criminal war against Ukraine, which would allow the representatives of the aggressor country to return to international tournaments.
