Listen "Obstruction: FIS Rule ICR 343.9-10 (with Simi Hamilton and Allan Serrano)"
Episode Synopsis
Entering the final stretch of the Men's 50km at the 2021 Cross Country Ski World Championships, Johannes Klaebo of Norway took a wide tangent to overtake Alexander Bolshunov of Russia. The only problem, Bolshunov didn't leave him any room.
This left Klaebo with a disqualification and Bolshunov with a broken pole to get passed down the homestretch for 2nd (after the DQ).
The FIS decision to disqualify Klaebo has been a divisive topic in the nordic ski community, to say the least. So we talk with two experts, American skier Simi Hamilton and FIS Technical Delegate Allan Serrano, about today's skiing regulations.
