by Lino Davarda, Global Skier n.251 – I started to practice cross-country skiing following some accidents I had while practicing downhill skiing that limited my sport activity. First, I followed a friend who was taking part to the first edition of Marcialonga and then I tried to ski myself the 70 km on Nordic skis, […]
The 2019/2020 season was an extra-ordinary Worldoppet season under all aspects, and so also the Annual General Meeting, that is usually taking place in June in one of the countries hosting the races, had to change format, and it was held for the first time virtually. At least one representative for each one of the […]
By Marcia Beckner – The 1994 Vasaloppet was our first Worldloppet. Interesting that we picked the longest and largest Worldloppet for our initiation. But having attended the Lillehammer Olympics the two weeks previous, the Vasaloppet was a natural fit for my husband and me. It was all so terribly exciting – on the start line […]
Diego Gennari, Global Skier n. 267 Trento/ Italy – I wanted to give some colour to this story, decorating it with these bibs that mean dedication, joy, sacrifices, health and many dreams…. I started in 2008, and I bought my Worldloppet passport in Lienz, just for fun, but time after time and year after year […]
by Vladislav Kalous – The year 2017 was not easy for me as I had been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. Luckily, as I was told by my typically cynical doctor: “if you should select a cancer, this is a good one.” There was a clear medication and I went through chemotherapy and radiotherapy for half […]
by Arne Zlöbl – First 7 km cross-country skiing My brother Tristan, a former elite skier, motivated me, a former footballplayer, to join him to the Jizerska 50 in Czech Republic. As I am open-minded for every adventure and I have had heard about super cheap and delicious Czech beer I quickly was on board. […]
by Ken Hundert, Birchlegger, Toronto, Canada – The night before Birkie 2000, I was on my way to Lakewoods Restaurant for pasta and pasta, with water and water and water. A radio bulletin announced the race had been cancelled. Ugh; this meant that treasured kick wax information earned by my experienced milling at the New […]
By Andrzej Gałaś (start number 918) – I have been taking part in the Bieg Piastów since 1994, usually the main distance of 50 km, this year at 42 km. It seemed to me that I was well prepared and expected to get less than 4 hours during the Saturday race (February 29). My well-waxing […]
Last week came the news that Kangaroo Hoppet could not take place in the current season, but the Organizing Committee didn’t waste time and proposed a valid alternative, what they call the “Hoppet 2020 – Do It Your Way”. But, what is it about? Registering to the event (for a simbolic 10$ fee), each athlete […]
by Torbjörn Jonsson – I started my cross-country skiing career with the Vasaloppet (11 times), continued with the Jizerská Padesatka, Marcialonga, Engadin Skimarathon, Birkebeinerrennet and Vasaloppet China 2020!Over the years have I found out that participating and having a good experience is more important than chasing a good time. With that approach, my best Vasaloppet […]
Early bird for Worldloppet skiers only, from June 3: your chance to enter the race Summer is coming and the winter season and snow seem to be far away from now, but this is the right moment to plan the next stages on cross-country skis, and among them, Marcialonga cannot be missed on January 31! The […]
by Jon K Amundson – We arrived in Iceland with only the minimal website information on this first week of May Ski Marathon in 2014. It is the oldest and largest cross-country ski race in Iceland, dating from 1935 and continuous since 1956. All we knew was that it was 50/25 kilometers in distance, just […]
