PLANICA/OSLO (Dagbladet): It was exciting in the finish area after 30km snowboarding in WC.
William Porromaa went straight into the wall after losing a sprint duel for fourth place against Pål Golberg.
Toilet Drama: – A nervous wreck
It’s the most dramatic finish since girlfriend Frida Carlsson’s Tour de Ski, says NRK commentator Jann Post.
– It looked worse than it was. I lay there for 20 seconds. Arms and legs were everywhere. It was very noisy. Boruma tells Dagbladet it was good that Sjur came and helped me.
– The foot was twisted
He told Expressen that his foot was stuck.
– The foot was completely twisted. We’ll see what it’s like when the adrenaline wears off, but it should be fine.
The Swede was aided by Sjur Røthe and Simen Hegstad Krüger.
– I saw him come thundering into the mark. I thought something had happened here. I saw that his foot was under the mark and was slightly crooked, says Ruth, who rushed to him for help, to Dagbladet.
– I know for myself that when you’re all done, it’s a good idea to take off your skis anyway. It seems to be going well, I quit
angry
Buruma finished 46.4 seconds behind winner Hegstad-Kruger. He recovered from the fall and appeared to be in good shape. However, it was said that he was not very happy with his fifth place finish.
A Dagbladet reporter at the scene reported that Porromaa was furious. He is said to have tried to console him, but to no avail.
Coach Lars Ljung explains:
– He’s chasing medals, so he’s angry. He’s emotional now, but when things calm down he’ll realize it’s a good race. Norway is better, he tells Viaplay, you just have to take your hat off Express.
Boruma himself told Dagbladet that frustration arose from the crash.
– I was mostly angry because I was stuck, and I just wanted to leave. It stirred me up a bit.
