Russian skiers and snowboarders have secured a court victory allowing them to apply for neutral status to compete in qualification events for the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, the country’s sports minister, Mikhail Degtyaryov, announced on Tuesday.
Mr Degtyaryov stated on social media that an appeal lodged by Russia with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) successfully overturned a comprehensive ban previously imposed by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS).
