23-year-old Eric Rosjö was just over four minutes behind the winner Iiivo Niskanen in the 15 kilometer classic.
Rosjö finished 69th and was hardly happy after the race.
- I chose to stake, I thought it could be a good choice.
It stood still uphill and I was torn downhill.
You should have chosen differently?
- Yes, I should.
It was a wrong decision by me, says Rösjo.
He continues:
- The body still feels completely okay.
But it was as if a layer of snow had settled under the skis and the track had become glue.
I barely made progress.
It's sour.
