Calle Halfvarsson became the best Swede with a time of 22.21.2. But he was far from a podium place. In the end, Halfvarsson had to settle for eleventh place.
The winner Pål Golberg was 24.5 seconds faster than the Swede.
17-year-old Alvar Myhlback became the youngest Swede ever to make his debut in the World Cup. At the time of writing, the talent is in 37th place.
– It was fun. Now it is done. The body feels quite good. It was just go out and run a good race and beat the crap out of me. I think it succeeded, he tells SVT Sport.
Otherwise, it was total dominance from the Norwegians during Saturday’s competition. Norway had seven of the ten fastest riders.
In addition, it was even at the top, as only 15 seconds separated Pål Golberg in first place and tian Martin Löwström Nyenget.
