Below is the space in which I could lay out all sorts of analysis of the troubling stuff in this video that would then be challenged by some, drawing our attention away from what is fundamentally going on here; the actual FIS competition rules; a slide into projected intent depending on how pro-Finnish or pro-Russian you tend to be; what should happen to the two guys in the video now.
I can't get into this without drawing ire, probably drawing death threats from others, and maybe being poisoned mysteriously some time down the road.
But I don't think words even really need to be spoken. Just watch.
So, I'm going to leave this up here in case you weren't in Finland or Russia this weekend and don't watch world cup skiing.
Let it be known, this has never happened before at this level in this sport.
1 disqualification
2 days for an apology
No fines
No reprimands
This is what it has come to.
