The 22-year-old waved his finger at Sainio, after a sprint duel at the end.
– It was a little "aha, baha". He thought he would get past there, but not today, says Edlund.
He felt bad about the gesture afterwards.
This weekend during the Finnkampen, you get into the rivalry so deeply. It was not directed at him personally, but it was more a jab at Finland that this year, on our home ground, then they will not beat us on the fingers. It was like "do not come and think", says Edlund and continues:
I hope he did not take it too badly, because as said it was really not directed at him but it was against Finland as a nation.
Edlund hopes to get the opportunity to apologize.
In case he agrees to it, I will probably apologize a bit.
After Sunday's competitions, it is clear that Sweden has won the Finnkampen on both the women's and men's sides. On the men's side, Sweden won with 240–191, on the women's side 242.5–211.5.
