On the Vasalopp Sunday in March when the classic race is run, more than 15,000 participants will participate. Of the applicants, 83 percent are men and 17 percent are women. Nowadays, the classic vase race is obviously for men and women. But it took time for the women to take their seats in the Vasa race. For a time, women had to mask themselves in order to go.
The girl vase is still there, as are several other exercise races only for women.
- They appreciate getting their own rooms, and in some sport context may be the one who is obvious and norm, says Karin S Lindelöf.
