Home skier Qiang Wang has been a favorite in the stands in Beijing during cross-country skiing.
The Chinese are not as popular in Norway after today's sprint competitions.
Doldisen tore down Pål Golberg in the quarterfinals and thus the Norwegian's chances for promotion were completely run down.
- What should I say?
It's a gross trampling.
I saw what was about to happen, but I did not think he would do so.
He has run some World Cup competitions before and he knows what it means and gets conservative.
So it is strange to boil over like that, Golberg says to NRK.
Anger in Norway
Golberg is supported by Erik Valnes.
- He takes gaps where there is no room and it punishes itself.
He was a total clown.
When you do that, you have nothing to do here, says Valnes.
The 28-year-old Chinese was disqualified after the incident - after he first looked like he had qualified for the semifinals.
- At first he did not understand it and then he was completely devastated.
This was his opportunity.
It may have been a consequence of his lack of experience.
He has so much strength that he could have waited until he got an opening, says the Chinese's Norwegian coach Bernhard Rønning to NRK.
Wang has not competed in the World Cup since December 2019 due to China keeping its skiers at home due to covid-19.
Won the competition did, after all, a Norwegian skier.
Sovereign Johannes Hösflot Kläbo took home the victory before Federico Pellegrino, Italy, who came second and Alexander Terentev (ROC) who took the bronze medal.
Oskar Svensson made it to the final as the best Swede, but it ended with a sixth place.
