Canada's head coach Justin Wadsworth ran on to the course with a replacement ski and helped the Russian get back in the race.

"It was like watching an animal stuck in a trap," Wadsworth said. "You can't just sit there and do nothing about it. I wanted him to have dignity as he crossed the finish line."
