Alexander Bolshunov

Finnish lawyer Oskar Lindberg has named a possible prison sentence for Russian skier Alexander Bolshunov. His words are available on the Match TV website.

Lindbergh stated that the actions of the Russian against the Finn Yoni Mäki should be qualified as an attack. “Since Bolshunov pushed Maki after the finish, this can be regarded not as physical contact during the race,” he explained. For this, according to Finnish law, an athlete may face a fine or imprisonment of up to two years.
