Iversenin ja Iivon kolarointi muistutti aika paljon Sochin kisojen loppuratkaisua. Tällöin saksalainen kaatui Jauhojärven suksiin ja tämän ansiosta Suomi voitti kisan. Saksan protesti ei mennyt läpi, mutta mielestäni tilanne oli hyvin samantyyppinen.
Germany's Tim Tscharnke hit the ground after bumping into Sami Jauhojaervi. The Finn, who was ahead, changed his line just before the final sprint.
Tscharnke said Jauhojaervi took his line, causing him to fall.
"The Finnish guy crossed my line, that's why I fell," he told reporters after Germany finished seventh. "I simply couldn't do anything. We'll protest."
Organizers said the appeal had been rejected by the International Ski Federation.
Jauhojaervi said : "It happened just 300 meters before the finish line. The skier who is the first has a right to choose the track. And it was me.
"I don't remember, who kicked the first - me or the German skier. Anyway it's a pity that (the) German team have lost the medals. It's not fair. The only thing I could say is to make an apology for this collision."
