This became clear after the Norwegian team refused to perform at the stages of the tournament in Canada and the United States because of the coronavirus, reports Sport Express.
Bolshunov now leads the general classification with 2221 points. Chances to beat him are Norwegian Johannes Klebo, who has 1726 points. The remaining rivals are inferior to the Russian too much.
Earlier it was reported that the skier Kruger hopes that he was forgiven in Russia for a clash with Bolshunov.
