After 220km of double-poling in the longest cross-country ski race in the world Norway’s Andreas Nygaard narrowly took his third victory in the event. In the women’s race, Nina Lintzén from Sweden replicated her 2017 victory, despite having given birth only five months prior to the race.

Nordenskiöldsloppet is a 220km ultra race and a completely new type of challenge for modern skiers. On the 24th of March 2018 participants will leave Purkijaur in a race dating back to the 19th century. With a track above the arctic circle, the contestants will be put up to a real tough challenge.

In 1884 polar explorer Erik Adolf Nordenskiöld held a competition to prove that it was possible to ski long distances in a short time. It became one of the world’s first, toughest and longest races. Pavva-Lasse Nilsson Tuorda won, having skied 220km’s in 21 hours and 22 min’s. Now you have the chance to ski in his tracks.
