Just tagging @brunamoura who has...let's say, an opinion on the move of Mäki :evil:

 

I'm against that opinion by the way, this was all on Bolshunov.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Bolshunov in trouble - Maeki cut him off in the race for the line & Bolshunov ran straight into him when he stopped.  Long ban coming.

Might not be the only one looking at a ban. Another Russian pushed (and attempted to trip) the Finnish athlete in front of him.

There should be a cycling rule for everyone to keep their lane, just for such incidents. Both sides are at fault for me from this situation..

I don’t know...the Finnish skier was in front, and he chose the outer lane. The Russian followed him into the lane (not on purpose most likely), and then was mad that the Finnish skier skied in the center of that lane. To me, that part of the move was clean. If the Russian is faster, then the onus is on him to go into a different lane and pass. Now, if the Finnish skier blocks him then, then that would be a dirty move.
