Karlsson first looked to finish fourth in the sprint. But after Anamarija Lampic was disqualified, she had to climb to third place in the Tour de Ski premiere. Slovenia filed an appeal and the first protest was rejected. But they were able to protest again in 48 hours and they did.
– We hope Fis makes the right decision, Slovenia’s head coach Nejc Brodar explained last night on SportExpressen’s Skidsnack TV show.
The Slovenian’s appeal has already been approved. Frida Karlsson thus gets rid of her podium and has to settle for a fourth place. In short, this means that he is 20 seconds behind leader Linn Svahn instead of 18 seconds.
– We received a written protest from Slovenia last night and it was dealt with by our Board of Appeal. We received his decision just as the men’s race started here, says Fi’s competition director, Pierre Mignerey.
“Then you can say congratulations then”
He continues:
– The Board of Appeal ruled that this was a “minor infringement” by Lampic, while the on-site jury ruled that it was a “serious infringement”. But this means that it is no longer washed and regains its podium.
– It is not common for results to change twice in this way, but it has happened before and will happen again.
Her boyfriend and national team skier William Poromaa heard the new message after Sunday’s hunt began.
– It was a fucking sweetheart with that location, have they changed third place four times now? Then you have to say congratulations, he says.
For the director of the national team, Anders Byström, it was an expected message.
– It’s sad, what we’ve seen on video and what’s sportingly correct is that there was nothing wrong with what Lampic did. I think we all agree on that. It’s probably just accepting it, he says.
– We probably thought it would.
