To spread the participants, the ladies will start at 07.40, ie 20 minutes before the men.
- We have previously discussed our own start time with the girls and they see both advantages and disadvantages, says Vasaloppet's sports director Tommy Höglund in a press release.
- It will be good to avoid the crowds with the elite exercisers in the first hill and they get a better view of the competitors.
At the same time, they lose the traction help from the boys.
Today, there are 68 days left until the Vasaloppet race on March 7, 2021, which will then only be decided as an elite competition for men and women in the 90-kilometer-long Vasaloppet arena.
The competition is traditionally broadcast on SVT with Yvette Hermundstad as host.
