- He is not completely down in the shoe shaft, but we choose to take it safe before the uncertain, says trainer Fredrik Uusitalo of SVT Sport and confirms that it is a swollen knee that stops today's competitions.
Oskar Svensson looked to be heading towards a canon time in the men's distance race 15 kilometers classic on Saturday. At 4.3 kilometers, the 22-year-old was noted at a time before top duo Jens Burman and Dario Cologna, but then something happened.
Lost focus without rod- It was entirely my own fault, I accidentally stepped off the stick in one of the scissors to turn. I was going to scissor and put the stick inside the ski, Oskar Svensson told SVT on Saturday.
- I was in the flow of the world and it felt really good, but there I lost focus and it took a long time before I got a new stick.
And now it is clear that the case thus also injured the knee. Svensson has shown on several occasions that he has the ability in especially sprinting. Main achievement during the Pyeongchang Olympics 2018, where the Falu rider finished fifth in the classic sprint finals.
