For the first time in many years, the classic Swedish cross country ski race Vasaloppet was not won by a Norwegian skier. The Swede Emil Persson won. We are happy that the honour of the victory has returned home.
My Norwegian grandfather would not have been as pleased as I am. I think he would not have been too disappointed, though, because many Norwegians got prominent positions in the race, anyway.
