The long-awaited world cup premiere for Oskar Svensson in the sprint competitions in Davos.

But it ended in minor for the 26-year-old.

Svensson, who was pulled with back problems, was far behind and was nowhere near advancing to the quarterfinals.

Neither did Karl-Johan Westberg and George Ersson.

The strongest of the Swedes was instead Anton Persson.

Gustaf Berglund and Johan Häggström also moved on.

Johannes Hösflot Kläbo was the fastest of all in the qualifiers.
