This Nordic world Ski Championships in Seefeld has begun in the long-run, with highly unusual scenes. In the semi-finals of the Sprint competition on Thursday, the Russian Sergey Ustjugow way pushed Norway’s cross country skiing Superstar John Kläbo on the track, after he was driven over the Ski. After the race bumped into Ustjugow the arch-rivals once again. Such scuffles in the cross-country skiing, a novelty.

It is only selected Russian athletes were invited by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to start under the Olympic flag. Ustjugow was not due to the collective doping suspicions against the Russian cross-country skier, even though he’s never been tested positive.

“It’s still a mystery why I was not invited. I still have no answers. I don’t know the reasons,“ scolded Ustjugow in Seefeld. While he had to watch at the Olympic games, snatched him John Kläbo with three gold medals in South Korea, the role of cross-country Superstar. So it was not a random scuffle in Seefeld. Especially since the almost frown alien speed of only 22 years young Kläbo – the flew after the Crash with Ustjugow locker to the Sprint world title-even for the forehead. Especially since Kläbo is in the care of his grandfather Kare Hoesflot, allegedly, never Interviews. And therefore never the outstanding achievements of his grandson in a sport can explain the achieved performance of Zenit with a significantly higher competitive age.
