When the Russian Aleksandr Bolsjunov chose to take the chance that one of the first riders throw themselves down was Calle Halfvarsson not really in the mood but had to settle to fight with Pellegrino about the bronze, a duel which the Italian won.
the Gold took Norway thanks to John Høsflot Klæbos strong conclusion, Bolsjunov had to settle with silver.
Halfvarsson in the straight but managed to keep away and secure the bronze medal, italienarens second world CUP medal, he took silver in the individual relay.
” I had nothing to lose. I had a medal in the sprint last Thursday and Calle wanted to have a medal. I was probably more relaxed than he.
Halfvarsson almost asks for apology to teammate Oskar Svensson, who made a supreme effort and saw to it that Halfvarsson went out in the lead ahead of sistasträckan.
“I would not have been a sprint here at all,” says Halfvarsson disappointed.
