It was a successful prologue for Sweden during Friday's Tour de Ski.

All the Swedes went on.

For William Poromaa, however, it was a difficult journey.

He started strongly and led halfway, but broke a pole before the race.

- It felt great until then.

Then I get to run the entire race with a stick.

Then it will be difficult.

I will be impressed if I go on now, says Poromaa who was angry after the finish.

Halfvarsson: "Hard course"

He went on in 18th best time.

Norwegian star Johannes Hösflot Kläbo was fastest.

Second fastest was Calle Halfvarsson.

- It's a hard course and it suits me well.

Now I have to think about the tactics for the quarter-finals, says Halfvarsson.

Kläbo leads the total in the Tour de Ski.
