Calle Halfvarsson was powerless and cracked after the sprint in Oberstdorf. The stomach problems affected him too much.

- That should be it, I just have no energy in my body. "I think it's hard to get started," said Halfvarsson afterwards.

Ahead of the competitions in Falun this weekend, the 30-year-old said he had inflammation in the gut.

- I have been on x-ray and then it turned out that I had inflammation in the intestine, says Halfvarsson.

"It's never fun"

What do you do about it?

- It's just to let it heal. Then check it out even more after this weekend.

- It is never fun to be told that you are sick or that it is a hassle. I had no energy and it turns out that it was an inflammation of the intestines, it makes you weak. Still, it's nice to know that you weren't just cash.

He has trained in the Bruksvallarna and hopes it will feel good in Falun.

- I've gotten better. I hope it has healed.
