It was a victory in superior style in the world cup premiere in Poland last weekend, when he without any problems ran over his opponents in 5000 meters.
To pinch a Swedish ticket to the Olympics, Nils van der Poel needed to end up among the top four in today's 10,000 meter race in Norwegian Stavanger.
The Swede started in the last pair and thus had full control of the other riders' times.
The 25-year-old made a strong effort and took first place with a time of 12.38.92.
Before his ride, it was twice Canadian top with Ted-Jan Bloemen with a time of 13.00.23 and former world record holder Graeme Fish at 13.07.739.
Formally, however, van der Poel still needs to be taken out of SOK in order to go to the Olympics himself.
The requirement from the Swedish Olympic Committee is to be able to compete to be in the top eight.
However, it should not be a problem for Trollhättesonen, who is a double reigning world champion and holds the world record of 10,000 meters.
