This year’s edition of Göteborgsvarvet in Sweden took place this weekend, and Ski Classics star Jenny Larsson delivered an impressive performance.

Nearly 55.000 runners had registered for this year’s Göteborgsvarvet. Several well-merited cross-country skiers were on the start list, and many of them performed strongly. The best result came from Jenny Larsson, who finished in 15th place in the women’s category.

Jenny Larsson crossed the finish line after 1 hour, 22 minutes, and 15 seconds. Norwegian Karoline Bjerkeli Grövdal dominated the race and had almost five minutes’ lead over second-place Samrawit Mengsteab.
