SEEFELD/OSLO (Dagbladet): It was intended as a humorous element in the Radio Entirely Ramm, has evolved to become a bit of a baluba before the world cup, all in all, time to start.
Tuesday was a lutrygget Calle Halfvarsson in front of a gathered press corps, and apologized repeatedly for the music video he starred in.
– I apologize to those who have been offended. I regret that I was to play it in, says Halfvarsson to, among others, Dagbladet.
the Video, which Halfvarsson including robes, a Petter Northug poster in two and call John Høsflot Klæbo for “a little shit”, has created a great uproar in Sweden.
Swedish rage
Storavisene Aftonbladet and Expressen have killed Halfvarssons participation on kommentatorplass, where it has been called both “embarrassing, sexist and tasteless.” It seems as if there is no the in the direction of the norwegians who rebel the most, but some of the sentences Halfvarsson fires along the way.
Tomas Pettersson believes that the excuse is weak. Halfvarssons teammate Maria Rydqvist langer also out:
I’m really amazed that he stood up. It feels strange that he in 2019 makes a sexist video like this, when we are still fighting for equality. The excuse does not hold, she says to Expressen.
Philip Saxén, which is sportssjef in finland, Huvudstadsbladet, will that Halfvarsson should be thrown out of Sweden’s world cup squad.
– In which case they will send a clear signal: Represent Sweden in the world cup, you should not just be a good athlete – you should also have the right values and behave as a role model you are, type Saxén in a comment.
“emergency meeting”
Expressen has talked with Vidar Løfshus:

I think it is far over the limit. It is Ramm who is behind this. We know that this can reach the children and young people, and it is not a good language to set. We take complete distance from it, ” says Løfshus, which says that Skiforbundet have been in contact with NRK about the video.
Expressen caught also Catch in conversation with Vidar Løfshus outside the Norwegian smøretraileren, something they refer to as an “emergency meeting”.
I’m often there, you hit only on me this time. But it is important that we can talk together and keep it on a professional level. There are “no hard feelings” between us, ” says Grip to Expressen.
NRK: – Different views
So much control, it was thus around the video that Halfvarsson let langflat and apologized to all concerned on Tuesday morning.
Halfvarsson claim that NRK had promised him that he would get to see the video before publishing. NRK claims on its page that it more was mentioned in passing that Halfvarsson would see it.
– We have a little different opinion of this agreement. He has taken responsibility and says that he regrets. We find it a pity that he has a bad experience of the end product. Our intention was that we should make fun of humor, yes, controversial, but fun in front of a ski-VM. The rivalry lives always moving and ahead of the world cup skiing, especially in cross-country skiing, and this was an attempt to create humor on it. It, we have understood that many people believe we have succeeded well with. So we have lots of feedback on that it is great fun, ” says Nrk’s redaksjonssjef Jane Fredriksen for the Newspaper.
Black elusive
Both John Høsflot Klæbo and Emil Iversen was confronted with the video during today’s press conference before the sprint, but none of them had anything special to say, even if they got repeated questions from the journalists.
I have really no comment to the video. I haven’t spent any time on it. Calle is nice to meet no matter what happens, ” says Klæbo.
– It is wrong of us to comment on. Various parties have been involved as I thought it was a different result. There is no idea for us to take this further. It has not affected us greatly. We must focus on what is going to happen on sprint, says many Arild Monsen.
– We hope it goes smoothly with Calle, he adds.
