Calle Halfvarsson did not get off to a good start on the Tour de Ski.
He was never close to advancing from his quarter-final in the Val Müstairs sprint.
- I have never seen them set up such a high speed in the start.
It was not right there today, says Calle Halfvarsson.
And the disappointment was great after the heat.
And he's a little worried about the performance.
- I should have a better feeling.
I'll not get ripped off and go crazy on the second lap.
Then something is not right, says Halfvarsson.
- You always have a day that is bad, and I hope it is today, so we have to recharge for the coming days, he continues.
Johan Häggström was also last in his quarter final - while Oskar Svensson advanced to the semifinals.
