A classic mass start should suit Jens Burman, but it really wasn't his day today.
He finished 22nd.
- Today it is two steps back.
It was nothing good, he says and continues:
- It is clear that it does not feel good at all.
You want it to feel good.
Otherwise, it is difficult to get any kind of harmony.
It is clear that they would have liked a better starting position, he says about the future with the World Cup waiting in just under a month.
Burman partly blames the skis, but he also lacked power.
- I probably didn't feel very good today either, but I had to let go straight away.
So it was crap.
He started far back in the field, but doesn't want to blame too much on that either.
- It is clear that there is no advantage.
It gets quite long on a narrow hill.
But if you have a good day, you should still be able to get ahead.
So you can't blame it too much.
Burman is not yet selected for the WC in Planica, but has a good chance of being.
Regardless, he will not go to the World Cup competitions in Toblach next weekend, but will instead participate in the SM in Skövde.
