The Finnish men's sprint team, consisting of Lauri Vuorinen and Joni Mäki, was summoned by the officials to provide their account of a situation that arose during a recent sprint relay event. This came shortly after they finished interviews regarding the race. Ville Oksanen, the head coach of the Finnish sprint team, accompanied them for the discussion with the jury. The concern was raised over an incident that nearly resulted in Finland being penalized during the penultimate exchange of the relay, which involved some confusion and chaos on the exchange area.

Vuorinen commented after the discussion that they believed they did nothing wrong, emphasizing that the officials merely wanted to understand their perspective on the situation. The atmosphere during the exchange was tense, as both Vuorinen and Mäki were involved in a complicated handover process, during which Mäki had to navigate around other athletes before successfully passing the baton to Vuorinen. This complexity was exacerbated by a crowded exchange area, but Vuorinen was relieved to confirm that no sanctions would be imposed on their team as a result of the inquiry.

Despite the incident, which also involved teams from Austria and France who were in similar situations, it appears the jury was simply seeking clarity rather than pursuing any disciplinary action against the Finnish team. The incident highlights the pressures and procedural complexities faced by athletes during competitive events, especially in high-stakes environments such as international relays.
