He put on COVID-19 just in time for the season premiere and later followed up with a few cracked ribs and a injured thumb.
Then, the long-distance star William Poromaa decided to quickly put the season behind him.
It became a second-place finish on 15 kilometers and a relay victory during the winter. But otherwise, there is a lot from the latest World Cup season that William Poromaa would rather forget.
Not so surprising, perhaps.
The long-distance star crashed heavily in the Swedish premiere in Gällivare in November and had to interrupt the World Cup premiere in Ruka a week later, partly due to pain and partly due to a feeling of illness.
About an hour later, the news came – COVID-19.
It also turned out a few days later that some ribs in his back were broken.
By the end of the season, William Poromaa also suffered a thumb injury in a new crash.
William Poromaa started pre-season training already in early May. Then followed, among other things, a "relocation camp", where skiers with cross-country skis and running took themselves from Ängelholm to Ulricehamn.
In the winter, the big goal is the World Championships in Trondheim in the February-March period.
How do you see your chances? There are quite a few Norwegians who, for example?
