Ebba still struggling with he altitude and Linn Svahn wins her first distance WC race!

Ха ха ха!  Three Russians take each other out!  Cologna profits with second.  Don’t quite come to blows, but certainly some ругань.

The Russian locker room promises to be sparkling

Chervotkin trying to pass ala Valentino Rossi 

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Mass starts, ugh, even sprints might be more interesting than 80% of these races.

 

Russia from 1-2-3-4 to...well, still pretty good 1st and 3rd. Glad for Cologna to grab a second.

He was the more aggressive one in the confrontation afterwards, Belov was more calmed one.

Yep, although Belov was definitely the one who shut the door in a fashion that would get you a penalty in other sports. Belov defended too aggressively, Chervotkin attacked too aggressively, I guess the latter mattered more for the judges. Bit unfair, but sure.

Well, all the on-track incidents would be no more than a routine yellow card. It was his actions after the finish that got him a straight DSQ.

Which one of these happened after the finish?

 

 

It must have been a push that wasn't shown, because right after the finish Belov tapped his shoulder (presumably to apologize) and he just shrug it off a bit harsher than one normally would. Curious what happened afterwards then.
