Towards the end of the men's WC five-mile race, Jens Burman was in the top group that would settle for the medals.

But the 28-year-old fell in a curve, fell behind and when he was about to catch up, his strength ran out.

After eighth place, Burman is clearly disappointed.

- This is not what I dream of and not what I train for.

An eighth place is not something I am proud of, he says.

"Jump to"

The Swede talks about his crash.

- I simply lose my balance.

I think William (Poromaa) wobbled in front of me and reflexively I jump.

I think he will fall and then I will lose my balance myself, he says.

Norwegian Pål Golberg won the race ahead of Johannes Hösflot Kläbo.

The bronze went to William Poromaa.
