- It is unbelievable that you can take a team to the Olympics before Christmas, considering that Sweden does not have such a good team.

I should definitely have been allowed to go.

It is a world result and I beat Olympic participants, says Westberg who did not get a ticket to Beijing to Expressen.

He was second in the race but got past Krogh after a forcing and won at Lugnet's ski stadium.

The two Olympic-selected Swedes Anton Persson and Johan Häggström did not move on from the quarter.

Four Norwegians followed after Westberg: Haavard Taugboel (Olympic qualifiers), Finn Haagen Krogh, David Thorvik and Sindre Skar.

In sixth place followed the Swede Edvin Anger who impressed all the way to the final.

The 19-year-old was, among other things, second in the prologue and won both the quarterfinals and the semis.
