Sweden off the podium in the first mixed relay ever

For the first time ever, a mixed relay, where ladies and gentlemen compete with each other, in cross-country skiing on Sunday in Falun.

Sweden's first team included Ebba Andersson, Wililiam Poromaa, Jens Burman and Frida Karlsson.

Ebba Andersson went out first and switched as a split third, 0.6 seconds behind the leader Germany.

- It was tight and even just as we had thought.

I really tried to do what I could to change the lead, she says to SVT Sport.

Burman dropped

Poromaa stood for a stable distance and switched as second to Jens Burman.

However, he lost.

Burman released just over six seconds to the lead and gave Frida Karlsson a difficult situation during the last stretch.

The Swedish star did not manage to catch up and became four.

The USA won before the second Finland and the third Norway.
