The Nordic Ski World Cup causes excitement! The Norwegian superstar Jarl Magnus Riiber crowned himself on Saturday with a brilliant victory in the target sprint, getting his tenth gold medal. His team -mate Jens Lura's frequentebro and the German Vinzenz Geiger landed on the podium behind him.

According to the DSV, frequentbro is said to have exceeded the route limitation with a ski, but this was quickly rejected as unfounded.

anger and allegations

riiber reacted extremely upset to the protest and, according to the Norwegian newspaper crown : "I am really bad and I get a lot of adrenaline when I think about how you can behave so badly. It is disgusting." Also often did not leave good hair on the DSV and noticed that the protest was probably only intended to get another medal. Geiger, who won the bronze, could not understand the protest and made it clear: "I don't understand the protest, I can no longer say."

Sports director Horst Hüttel from the DSV defended the objection and emphasized that they had to work for the athletes. According to Hüttel, Italian and Austrian referees had previously referred to a violent violation, which led to the rapid submission of the protest within the strict period of 15 minutes. Nevertheless, the complaint was rejected, since the review showed that frequentbro left the route twice, but could not lead to a sanction.

The conflict remains tense: While the German team later apologized to Freifebro, Riiber shows himself irreconcilable. The event illustrates how heated medal hunt at the Nordic Ski World Cup is and that fair sport is at stake while the athletes should concentrate on their achievements. This incident will surely provide plenty of conversation in the coming days.
