Two years ago he clinched a World Cup bronze in the five-mile in Planica.
Now William Poromaa wants to repeat the company.
– I have been up there and tamped and I know how tough it is and that everything has to flap, he tells the Sports Bible.
The World Cup in Trondheim has started and we received a Swedish gold medal directly on Thursday. Jonna Sundling30, took his third straight World Cup gold in sprint and thus also her fourth straight championship gold as she was also the best in the 2022 Olympics. During the weekend it is time for both the men’s and the women’s skiathlon (20 km).
William Poromaa took a World Cup bronze in 2023
It has been a heavy period for the Swedish gentlemen since such as Johan Olsson44, and Marcus Hellner39, quit. In the World Cup 2021 in Obersdorf they did not take any medal, nor in the Beijing Olympics a year later. However, succeeded William Poromaa24, breaking the gloomy pattern in Planica 2023. He went an incredibly smooth and hard duel against the compatriot Calle Halfvarsson About the bronze in the five -mile. In the end, it was Poromaa who drew the longest straw.

Prior to this year’s World Cup, Poromaa has been very low and not talked so much with the media. However, he won the 20 -kilometer start in Les Rousses relatively recently, his first individual victory in the World Cup. He goes in with some pressure on his shoulders in this championship.
– The World Cup is by far the biggest during the season and then it will be snapped. When you arrive at the championship, then you are ready. Then you have been preparing for so long. It will be incredibly fun, I think, he tells the Sports Bible.
William Poromaa knows the press
Since he took a World Cup medal at the latest, it is clear that people to a greater extent expect him to be in the battle again. He admits that he senses a certain pressure.
– That’s it always. You always want to perform the best you can and with that comes the pressure from yourself. Then I know … I have been up there and tamped and I know how tough it is and that everything has to flap. It’s no idea to think about it. It’s just to do the job and try to get there, he says.
