Marcus Grate was fastest of all in the men’s qualifying. In the quarter-finals, the World Cup sprint in Ruka, Finland, ended for the Swede. The reason? A fall.
The 26-year-old, who was the fastest of all in the men’s qualification, already disappeared in the quarter-finals after a fall. The Swede looked dejectedly, irritatedly up in the air and then paced the stretch to the finish line at a leisurely pace.
– I haven’t seen the replay, but it feels like the ski is cutting and then I’m on the hill.
After neither Calle Halfvarsson and William Poromaa did not advance from qualifying, the host cup sprint came to a quick end for Marcus Grate.
– It is incredibly sad that I crash, but now in retrospect there is nothing to be done about it. I have to look ahead and take the prologue with me, he says.
– You have to take the positive with you.
Also Johan Häggström, Emil Danielsson and Edwin Anger lost in the quarterfinals.
