EXCLUSIVE: Italian event organizers have not yet finalized the amount of a fine issued to Armenian cross-country skier Mikayel Mikayelyan after he covered the word “Azerbaijan” on his competition uniform during a World Cup event in Italy, the athlete told The Armenian Report in an exclusive statement.

Mikaelyan said the penalty was still under review by officials and that no official notice had yet been delivered.

“I don't know yet how much my fine is, because the jury didn’t set the price yet. They will send the fine in a few days,” Mikaelyan told The Armenian Report.

He added that Armenia’s ski federation has already committed to paying the fine once it is issued.

“Our Armenian ski federation will pay the fine. I spoke with our president, Gagik Sargsyan, and he said that we will pay everything from our federation,” Mikaelyan said.

Since The Armenian Report published the initial story, many Armenians in the diaspora have contacted the outlet expressing interest in helping Mikaelyan cover the fine. The skier acknowledged the support and thanked the community.

“Thank you very much. I so appreciate you reaching out, and for those people from the diaspora who would like to help. Happy New Year and Surb Tsnund,” he said.
