In his long-awaited Olympic debut, Andreas Nordebäck was eliminated after the short program and did not advance to the free skate.

The Swede made his Olympic debut to the '90s classic "Still Got the Blues" by Gary Moore. And the blues probably sum up the Swede's mood after the performance. After a big miss in one of the combinations, the total score was 67.15, far from the Swede's personal best.

"For me, it's the easiest hope I have. I started thinking too much that if I put the hope in, I'll have it, instead of just making it," he tells SVT.

The Swede thus finished in 27th place out of 29 participants, with the 24 best placed moving on to the free program.

"It's frustrating. I'm disappointed that I'm losing focus," says the Swede.
