Five seconds and 38 seconds after one Sivert Wiig.

This means that Oskar Svensson's first day at the Scandinavian Cup ended already in the prologue, when he finished 31st.

- It was a bad day with a bad feeling.

It's sad when it stops in the prologue, that's something I need to get better at.

Now I have gone out too many times this year, he says after the race.

But what it is that doesn't work for Svensson, who previously performed well in sprints, he doesn't really know himself.

"Running away too much time"

- I used to be better at prologues, but now I've had a hard time.

Then it usually goes better in the finals, but it doesn't help if you don't progress.

What will you do before the next sprint prologue?

- I guess I'll have to come up with a better plan on how to go.

It feels like a little too much time is running away in the beginning for it to be possible to catch up later, notes Svensson.

Furthermore, the men's side is Gustav Aflodal, Emil Danilesson, Truls Gisselman, Anton Grahn and George Ersson.

Aflodal was the best as eleven.

On the women's side, Anna Svendsen was fastest.

She was followed by Jonna Sundling, Moa Lundgren and Linn Svahn, in that order.

All three have recently returned from various types of absences due to illness and injury.
