The finish line of the men's relay in Lahti was highly dramatic.

When Finland's Joni Mäki closed Alexander Bolshunov on the run, the Russian lost everything after hitting Mäki with the stick before tackling him after the finish line.

- What happened is not good, it is not sporting behavior.

I'm sure Alexander will understand in an hour, two or three hours when he calms down, says Cramer.

Russia was washed afterwards, but Cramer says it will probably appeal.

- One weekend they (the jury) explain that whoever is first you have to stay in your line, but here today the jury said that you do not need it - that you can go in whichever direction you want.

This rule is not clear to us, he says.

Mäki believes that he chose tracks in time.

- I thought I would take the outer track so he can not pass.

I think I chose the track in time and he tried to get past even though there was no space, says Mäki according to Yle.
