It was near Slussen that the mistakes started, first the three runners in the lead, Felix Kirwa, Tesfaye Lencho Anbesa and Merhawi Kesete, were pointed in the wrong direction.
A mistake that was corrected fairly promptly.
The next mistake, however, was not as quick to sort out.
That is when the runners ran straight ahead instead of turning up on Folkungagatan and it took until they were at the height of the Danvik bridge before they realized that they had run wrong.
In total, they lost almost two minutes in the process and in addition, they lost the lead to runners who have been addicted for a long time.
- We are gathering to understand it ourselves, so right now I can not give any information.
But I really like to talk more about a little while when we have gathered together, says David Fridell to SVT Sport.
Despite the chaos, Kenyan Felix Kirwa managed to win the race.
