Good skis on the last lap here for Olsson Burman.

 

[roundabout]

they are slow in front

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Right, here we go. It's the best sprinters who have the best pace here so far, which is worrying for everybody else. Looks like a Norwegian sweep is lilkely unless Bolshunov can fight his way through the traffic.

 

[Mayomaniac]

That dirty Norge Twink!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Course narrows, causing the problem.

 

[Silhouette]

Bolshunov in just about the same but opposite situation as with Mäki.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Bolshunov is such a jerk. That was all his his on fault. He should be relegated. He was obviously tried to block Klaebo.

 

[Norbea]

Difficult situation for the jury. Can't see anyone doing anything wrong though. *** happens.

Oh stfu, if it was Bolshunov doing that he would have been DQ’d. Since it’s the little Princess they won’t do a damn thing about it.

Kruger had a bit of misfortune. The fall and he took ages on the ski change which lost him a load of time. He looked pretty strong after that and if he was still at the front wonder if he could have helped Iversen in trying to break the race

 

[Silhouette]

Tricky situation. There must be some clearer rules in these situations. The skier who is first should have to use the middle track maybe.

 

[Bavarianrider]

I have to disagree here. Do not like him, but come on. Bolshunov is the villain here. We have to He objective here.

 

[roundabout]

Looks like Bolshunov broke the pole himself.

Again.

Edit: ok, not quite himself is there was an arm-to-arm contact causing him to put the pole between his skis

Edit 2: arm-to-pole even it seems

 

[titan31]

They're dead level when the lane starts so hard to say. Collision is before it.

 

[kingjr]

Looks like Bolshunov broke the pole himself.

Again.

Nah Klaebo hit the pole when he tried to overtake, that's how it ended up between Bolshunov's legs.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Looks like Bolshunov broke the pole himself.

Again.

Yes, but after Klaebo pushed his arm.

 

[meat puppet]

Say what you will but Kläbo earned this. The endurance specialists had every opportunity and eight ascents to drop him, but could not.

So, is burgstal enough or not?

 

[Mayomaniac]

If only Bolshunov and the whole Russian team were as smart as they are strong...

 

[kingjr]

I have to disagree here. Do not like him, but come on. Bolshunov is the villain here. We have to He objective here.

If Maeki wasn't relegated, I don't see why Bolshunov should. In any case, he wouldn't be declared winner either way.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Nah Klaebo hit the pole when he tried to overtake, that's how it ended up between Bolshunov's legs.

Come on Bolshunov ran into him. Not the other way round.

In Lahti the argument was that Mäki was in front. Now that Bolshunov was in front, we are not going to use the same argument?

 

[kingjr]

Come on Bolshunov ran into him. Not the other way round.

I thought that's allowed according to the rules if you're ahead. It was for Maeki.

 

[titan31]

It'll be Iversen who wins if Klaebo is dq surely here anyway. Can hardly imagine then relegating Iversen

 

[RattaKuningas]

In Lahti the argument was that Mäki was in front. Now that Bolshunov was in front, we are not going to use the same argument?

In Lahti Bolshunov was only punished for hitting other skier with a pole.

 

[Norbea]

Bolshunov knows he is the weaker sprinter and tries to squeeze Kæbo out. Kæbo has nowhere to go. Bolshunov has plenty of space on his left to take the tracks. He wouldn't brake his pole if he wasn't so aggressive. The only fair thing is to give Klæbo the gold. One could feel for Bolshunov, but there is a reason why he ends up in these situations time and time again.
