Iltalehti reached the match with their judges Asse Hokkanen comment on the fight solution.
– Of course I noticed it in the big toe in the network. After all, you can push the cage with your hand or foot, but you should not push your fingers or toes through, so that Hokkanen comments.
Hokkanen instructed Amirkhan to remove from the cage, but this did not happen. Shortly afterwards, the match ended with Amirkhan’s end victory when Kolehmainen clapped as a sign of the transfer.
– The judge must try to command and grab a little to get the grip. On the other hand, the judge must not be torn by violence, as there is a risk that the competitor can be injured. It’s a bad thing if your finger or toe goes across it, Hokkanen explained.
No protest

According to Iltalehti, Kolehmainen’s team has not left a protest.
Kolehmainen’s backing troops told the judge, but the result remained in force.
– The situation was really fast. Normally, the competitor will take off when he is a little commanding. In that sense, I was annoyed by Makwan’s behavior in it, whether it was unintentional or intentional. I don’t know, Judge Hokkanen analyzes afterwards.
According to Hokkanen, it is abnormal that the competitor did not obey the judge’s instructions.
According to the judge, this did not change the overall picture.
– The situations are not black and white. Of course, it is clear that the toes were in the cage. Anchoring was so tight that no toes were anywhere, it would not have affected the outcome of the match. If I had broken that situation, it would have been unfair and anti -spirit, Hokkanen estimates.
The judge sought to read the situation well in time for both parties.
Hokkanen said he understands if it was annoying in Kolehmainen’s camp.
– It was offense, I don’t know what the word I would like to use, but maybe a rat -like thing. Of course, you still have to evaluate what is important for the outcome of the match. Not to change it for a secondary matter.
Aftermath

The judge went through the situation after the match.
– If I thought afterwards, maybe I could have used more physical strength to remove, and I just don’t jerk and command the competitor. But it was a second, and if it had been done once or second, the third time I wouldn’t have had time when it came, Hokkanen said.
Hokkanen has a long experience in refereeing the freestyle. According to him, at the time of the Ice Cage’s main match, he went differently than usually in similar moments.
– Situations come so fast. It is based on the previous experience of how competitors work in such situations. That practice is command and jerking of the limb, and the story is usually discharged, the judge said.
However, Amirkhani, known as “Mr. Finland”, was overwhelming. He quickly got Kolehmainen on the carpet and dominating in a awkward place. The victory came in 52 seconds with an anakonda.
– It was so tight that it was not unclear. Too bad this was this toe and it can be speculated. The breaches are nasty, but there was no confusion about the winner, Hokkanen said.
