Together with Calle Halfvarsson, Svensson took a fine third place in Friday's sprint relay. But the form seems not to have held up.

In Saturday's individual sprint, in classical style, it ended already in the qualifying round. Svensson did not get better than 35th (top 30 advance) and will not be able to participate in the quarterfinals this afternoon.

A total of eight Swedish skiers – four women, four men – advanced to the final round in Italian Cogne.

On the women's side, Maja Dahlqvist was the fastest of the blue and yellow with a third place, barely three seconds behind Finnish Jasmi Joensuu.

Måns Skoglund and Johan Häggström also advanced to the quarterfinals. Apart from Oskar Svensson, it stopped for Olof Jonsson.
