Finnish skiing star Jasmi Joensuu is directing criticism at the World Championship organizer in Trondheim.

In an interview with Yle, Joensuu says that the women's locker room was closed after the morning's qualifying in the sprint relay.

The reason? According to the Finn, it was because it had been reserved for the Norwegian royal family, writes Norwegian Dagbladet and VG.

Women have nowhere to change. The king has snatched the locker room, she says.

Åge Skinstad, responsible for this year's skiing World Championship, confirms to VG that the locker rooms at the stadium have been closed for a certain period of time – but does not want to say why.

We don't need to go into that. It has been closed for a shorter period today.

He also does not want to comment on whether it is the royal family that has used the locker room.
