Ski Classics Pro Team athletes Thomas Gifstad and Linnea Johansson secured first place in the 30km roller ski race in classic technique at the 2024 Topprullen in Sweden. Check the results.

Last weekend was time for the Topprullen 2024, a 30km roller ski race in Tollered, Sweden, close to Gothenburg. After a day full of action, Pro Team athletes Thomas Gifstad, Team Robinson Trentino, and Linnea Johansson, Lager 157 Ski Team, showed their strength and won their respective races.

Topprullen – Men

In the men’s race, Thomas Gifstad, Team Robinson Trentino, took home first place at the Topprullen 2024.

Alfred Buskqvist, Team Ramudden/IK Stern, finished in second place. Elias Andersson, Ski Team Göhlins, completed the podium in third place. 

“It was very close, I was third in the final curve, and the finish line came a bit sooner than I expected. But I’m very pleased that I was able to win the race. I’ve had some back issues over the past week, so it’s been a tough day,” says Thomas Gifstad, Team Robinson Trentino, after a close sprint finish.

The local hero and Pro Team skier Alfred Buskqvist, Team Ramudden/IK Stern, about the finish battle:

“I thought I had it when I got the inside curve at the end, but Gifstad came fast at the finish.”

“It felt relatively easy, but it was hard to break away,” says Johansson in the live broadcast by the organizing club IK Stern and added:

“Training has been going well this summer. But I’ve been working full-time, so I’ve done what I could in terms of training alongside work. The goal for the upcoming season is to be competitive, and Vasaloppet is the big goal for the season.”
