Axel Ekström came in 53rd place in yesterday's 15 km race, and is in 54th place in the Tour de Ski total.
But now it is clear that he is not completing the competition. Today, the Swedish ski association announced that Ekström is cold and canceling the Tour de Ski.
This makes Ekström the third Swede to break the season's edition of the tour. The two previous ones are Stina Nilsson and Emma Ribom.
