Alexander Bolshunov
Eirik Muir Nossum, coach of the Norwegian national ski team, was surprised by the attitude of Russians towards Alexander Bolshunov after a clash with Finn Yoni Mäki at the World Cup in Lahti, Finland. His words are quoted by NRK.
Nossum said that if Bolshunov had been a Norwegian, he would not have gotten off with a one-race disqualification for what happened. He was surprised by the internal rules of the Russian Federation, whose representatives sided with the skier. “We would have had internal sanctions. It would mean a small weekend at the guardhouse, ”the coach summed up.
