The FIS commented on the refusal to disqualify Delozh.
On February 8, Michal Lamplot, Flight Director of the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS), commented on the refusal to disqualify French skier Mathis Delauge after cutting the distance at the 2022 Olympics.
"When making all decisions, the jury takes into account whether this cut affected the final result. 6.6 km before the finish, when he was in the lead and retained the lead, it was decided that this did not affect the result," Sport—Express quoted Lamplot as saying, citing sources.
For the same reason, the Russian side filed a protest against the results, but the judges did not approve the protest.
On February 8, Deloz cut the track during the skiathlon at the Olympic Games of 2026 (OI-2026) and beat the Russian skier Savely Korostelev. The athlete received a yellow card from the judges for the violation.
