Krasniqi: Albini is ready, there is no problem

The media officer at the Kosovo Olympic Committee (KOK), Kushtrim Krasniqi, has spoken about the telegraph a few hours before the start of the long-awaited race of skier Albin Tahir, the only one representing Kosovo at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games.

In the last few days, the Kosovo media has written about the skier Tahiri's ski problems, where it has been said that they were forgotten in Istanbul.

However, there is no room for concern, as Krasniqi has stated that Albini has all the necessary equipment with him in South Korea and is ready for the first race at LOD PyeongChang 2018.
