32-year-old Calle Halfvarsson has had a difficult season.
But on Saturday, he really flashed.
Halfvarsson came out hot in Falun and impressed the national team manager Anders Byström.
- He rides really well.
It is extremely exciting, he says in Viaplay.
The Swedish profile continued to go strong throughout the race and the effort was enough all the way to a second place.
It is Halfvarsson's first podium place in the World Cup since 2018.
Norwegian Didrik Tönseth won the competition and Harald Amundsen was third.
