Calle Halfvarsson finished the cross-country skiing in 18th place and as the best Swede in the race. The temperature in Ruka, where the distance race took place, had reached minus 15 degrees and when Halfvarsson got sick. Already after six out of eight laps, he feels that something is not right, which The Express was the first to report on.
– I feel like that, he tells the newspaper. Then he tells us that his genitals had frozen.
“I have frozen the muzzle”
– I have frozen the muzzle. For real. Damn it, I had to lie in there for ten minutes to warm it up, says Halfvarsson to Expressen and points to a tent.
It is not the first time this has happened to Calle Halfvarsson. Last time it was also in Ruka.
– It hurts so damn much. It’s terrible.
“Those who know, they know”
When Expressen asks if he can describe the pain, he says that it is difficult.
– Those who know, they know. But you should get a tip from me. Stay away from it, because it is the worst thing you can experience, says the cross-country skier.
