Overview
- The Finnish ski federation and NOC formally challenged the men's sprint result, seeking a correction to the standings led by Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, with Lauri Vuorinen having finished fourth.
- Finland cites two violations: a FIS‑granted exception that let Norway use a wax machine in the service zone despite a prior ban, and a prohibited liquid brought by the U.S. team that its service chief said was used only for handwashing.
- FIS acknowledged a procedural error and issued an apology, while Finland called that insufficient; Germany’s Peter Schlickenrieder labeled the handling a failure and the DSV criticized poor communication.
- Coaches and observers noted a podium change appears unlikely, though the protest puts FIS rule enforcement under formal scrutiny.
- Tensions flared in Olympic curling as Sweden accused Canada of illegal double contact during an 8–6 Canadian win; profanity was exchanged, officials reviewed incidents, and World Curling reported no rule breaches, while German sledders secured skeleton silver and bronze for both women and men with the new mixed event set for Sunday.
