Therefore, he volunteered when the cross -country skier Emelie Öhrstig would choose a challenger for the night duel.
Wassbergs did not manage their task
Then something really unexpected and incredible happens. Wassberg, who had decided to lie down, began to hesitate. That he already told everyone in the house that he wanted to go home suddenly did not matter.
