The consolation after missing out on a medal: Pancakes

In the long run, Ridefelt believes he will be happy with fourth place in the WC – despite being so close to a medal.

— I do my best individual WC placement, so I will be very satisfied in a while. But right now it’s just empty and sour.

So what does one do to calm the disappointment in the Swiss forest?

— I think our cook has made some pancakes, so I’ll probably have to sit in the shade and eat some. Then it might feel a little better, says Ridefelt.

Earlier in the day, Tove Alexandersson and Hanna Lundberg took gold and bronze respectively. Something that can help lighten the mood.

— It’s great fun when things go well for the team. So it’s guaranteed to be a happy atmosphere tonight, says Ridefelt.
