The Day Klæbo And Bolshunov Will Never Forget

[@may7_OV]

It was a battle of two titans and no one could win.

i don’t think the russians should return until there is peace in ukraine but there’s no denying that men’s xc skiing is a snooze without the russians

[@ioghankingolev6033]

А тебя никто не спрашивает. Все равно наши лыжники лучшие, а те кто пишет что-либо про возвращение, и не желание куда-то там вернуться, они боятся конкуренции, и знают, что их любимчиков сместят с первых мест.

@@hansch-n1h there is no connection between russian skiers and "peace" in the Ukraine at all. Don't follow the herd

What load of bull. What does that have to do with sport? Also, if you seriously think that, why are the Americans are allowed to compete when they invade countries every year? Who decides who gets to compete and who doesn't? Why the hypocrisy and the double standards? Why is Israel competing freely?

Bolshunov cut into Klaebo's lane. It's easy to see this after multiple replays. He didn't want to have to sprint against Klaebo and so he tried to impede him

[@ioghankingolev6033]

пиздеж, у кого есть глаза да увидят. В финишном створе спортсмены не должны согласно правилам мешать соперникам. Александр был впереди и выбрал место в створе, а клеба залез из под него да еще и сломал палку.

[@davd1986]

He was in front of Klaebo, so the one that's in front has the right to choose which lane to take. Maeki did the same to Bolshunov in Lahti and didn't even get a warning. Fair game.

Except there was no obstruction in this case. Bolshunov had the right to choose which lane to take and he went for it. It was Klaebo’s responsibility to overtake him, and he went for a gap that wasn’t there. Rightful disqualification.

He robbed himself, going for a gap that wasn't there.
