Swedish riders on the ramp: "No good stuff today"

Failure on the men's side and no Swedish among the top 25.

Then SVT's experts Anders Blomquist and Mathias Fredriksson reacted to the Swedish election effort.

Afterwards, Jens Burman and Calle Halfvarsson confirmed what the experts had expected.

- It is clear that the whaling team will bar certain races. It always is. Today was probably the time when you were not able to get it right. Otherwise it has been good this season, Burman tells SVT Sport.

But the skis today were not what you wanted?

- No, that's right. It went heavy today. I felt good, but if you have no good things under your feet, it is difficult to do good running.

Calle Halfvarsson finished in 34th place, almost two minutes and 40 seconds behind winner Aleksandr Bolsjunov.

- It was terribly hard and boring today. It didn't work at all.

Did you feel that you had worse slides?

- We were all far behind so it was no top day. Unfortunately, this weekend is ruined for me already, but it is only to fight on to the next weekend.

How does it feel to go hunting tomorrow?

- Of course it's not fun. I wanted to be with you later on. I'm not supposed to be 2.40 after Bolshunov, which I beat two pallets two weeks ago. It's sad to be like this, says Halfvarsson.
