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.
