Giant blunder by Timon Haugan in the WC final

It ended with a Swedish fiasco in the World Cup round of 16.

After Kristoffer Jakobsen and Mattias Rönngren left, Sweden was eliminated.

Once in the final, an exciting duel between Norway and the USA awaited.

Timon Haugan was pitted against Tommy Ford in the final and decisive heat.

Finishing first would bring home the WC gold in the team competition - but then Norway's gold dreams were crushed immediately.

Haugan got stuck in the starting gate and slipped right after Ford.

- There was an over-ignition.

I felt like a scapegoat, says Haugan to VG.
