The Russian skier erupted in anger just before and immediately after the finish in Lahti.
On Sunday, the team relay competition was won by Norwegian skiers, but the extremely fierce race was reduced to silver medals, resulting in a showdown between Finnish and Russian athletes.
At the finish line, J.Maki took the lead in a duel with A. Bolshunov, which this season dominated among all skiers in the world.
Feeling like the silver was slipping and being pinched by the Finns, the 24-year-old Russian was no longer in control of emotions.
Slipping from behind, he tried to hit the opponent with a stick on a wide bridge, but was unsuccessful.
J.Maki crossed the finish line where his teammates were waiting for him.
A. Balšunovas also finished immediately, who deliberately ran to the Finnish skier and handed him over.
“It just came to our notice then. This is a guaranteed disqualification,” J. Maki calmly commented on the Russian attack.
That was what happened.
A. Balšunov was disqualified, which led to the cancellation of the result of the entire Russian team.
