It was also Halfvarsson who was the leading Swede in the mass start of 20 kilometers, when he placed 18th. After the race, the 34-year-old made a very private confession.
– I’m not feeling to well. I have frozen the muzzle. For real. Damn, I had to lie in there for ten minutes to warm it up. It hurts so damn much. It’s terrible, Halfvarsson revealed to Expressen.
Northug’s advice
Peter Northugnow a length expert on TV 2, recognizes Halfvarsson’s pain.
– First of all, welcome to the club, because I have experienced it myself.
– I’ve sat in press conferences here after good races and had so much pain there that… I had probably a year here, and had no feeling in my penis for three months afterwards. I hope it goes over faster for Calle than it did for me, says Northug to TV 2.

The former cross-country skier also has a piece of advice to share with Halfvarsson.
– The trick is to wear windproof underpants, tape it, and lubricate it with a silicone ointment like the one I had. I discovered that the year after my situation, so that’s my advice to Calle, says Northug to the Norwegian channel.
