There was a dramatic dissolution in the men's semifinal in the sprint in Ruka.
Marcus Grate and Anton Persson were both in the final sprint for a final place.
But the Swedes crooked and fell.
Afterwards, the two Swedes hugged each other.
- At first they thought it was unnecessary, but when I saw the pictures I see that the American on the outside is hooked in Grate.
So he ends up wrong and hooks in me.
So it was a pity, says Anton Persson about the crash.
What have you said to each other, you do not disagree?
- We are in the same team and it is no big deal.
It's a shame we hook up but it was something that happened on the outside but nothing you can care about.
In the men's final, it was a Russian victory.
Alexander Terentev was fastest in the qualifiers and was also strongest in the final.
A little surprisingly, he took home the victory before the Norwegian Johannes Kläbo.
