It's a bit like your worst nightmare coming true, he says.

For four years I have worked incredibly hard to get here. This past year I have fallen asleep every night thinking about being in the Olympics.

The 21-year-old injured himself during a training session in Ruka, Finland, when he landed badly after a jump.

You realize pretty quickly whether it's serious or not.

Earlier this year, Robin Olgård injured his knee and will also miss the Olympics. Remaining in the Swedish team are Elis Lundholm, Rasmus Stegfeldt and reigning Olympic champion Walter Wallberg.
