Alexander Bolshunov fell during the men's 15 km freestyle in Falun.
Despite this, the Russian managed to win the competition.
However, he was not the only one involved in chaotic situations.
The race contained several crashes and afterwards it was annoyed.
- There were many mass crashes.
The first crash was at the viaduct and I got away easily, I managed to avoid rod breaks.
But I got a sore thumb, I just think it's a sprain, says Björn Sandström.
"They got what they wanted"
Jens Burman was the best Swede.
He finished in tenth place.
He was anything but happy afterwards.
- It was not a useless result.
But one of the most boring races I have run, it was really messy out there.
This is what happens when you drive 2.5 kilometers of tracks.
But Fis seems to want complicated and bumpy races where people fly and poles are broken here and there.
They got what they wanted today, says Burman.
- You notice that it is too easy a course, no one dares to take the initiative.
There will be people everywhere and it will be awkward.
