Ernst Alm: Vasaloppet’s First Winner

On Sunday, March 5, it’s time for Vasaloppet, to be precise, the 99th edition. Vasaloppet’s first winner in 1922 was Ernst Alm, and here is the story about his tortuous road to victory.

The premiere winner of Vasaloppet, Ernst Alm, with the victory trophy.

We look back in the almanac, and the fact is that we had to scroll a lot. More specifically, one hundred and one years plus two and a half weeks. In a newspaper article on February 10, 1922, journalist Anders Pers launched Vasaloppet's idea. This under the heading: "A national ski race."
