Does anyone know why Bachleda-Curuś was disqualified? It wasn't obvious during the race and she got a time registered (giving her a shared 6th position with Njåtun). Fomalhaut76 (talk) 06:35, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was because she crossed the line. - FakirNL (talk) 00:21, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are probably correct; the commentator on a Swedish television channel affirmed that some days later. He said, however, that she was disqualified due to having crossed the line "many times" on the straight track, which sounds strange to me. But I might just have to study the rules carefully...

On the straight part of the track you are allowed to cross the line maybe once, but not several times. - FakirNL (talk) 19:00, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
