Following an emergency meeting of the World Curling Federation Board, the organization has decided to remove the hosting of the European Curling Championship this year from Perm, Russia.
No new date or host city has been determined at this time.
The World Curling Federation said in a statement, “we share the international community’s concern for the ongoing situation in Eastern Europe and together with the International Olympic Committee, strongly condemns the breach of the Olympic Truce by the Russian government.”
“We work tirelessly to promote the values of friendship and respect through the spirit of curling worldwide, and we hope for a swift and peaceful resolution to the current situation.”
