A roller skiing competition in Ulricehamn on June 1 may not say much about the World Championships squad for Trondheim next winter. But 18-year-old Alvar Myhlback outclassed the Swedish national team members in the Svenska Spel Summer Tour 2024 and showed he wants to fight for a World Championships spot.

According to Langd.se, it looked like a duel between Eric Rosjö and Alvar Myhlback for a long time, but in the end, no one could follow the junior from Bjursås. Rosjö was 11 seconds behind the winner at the finish, with a good performance.

Behind, there were remarkable gaps. Edvin Anger 50 seconds, Leo Johansson 57 seconds, Calle Halfvarsson 59 seconds, Truls Gisselman 1:20, Marcus Grate 1:39, Oskar Svensson 3:09, and Johan Häggström 3:46. Those are the gaps behind the 18-year-old Junior World Champion Alvar Myhlback.

Even though the Swedish national team was at a transfer training camp with long roller skiing stages every day, this was an impressive performance by Alvar Myhlback, who stated that the World Championships in Trondheim is a goal for next winter season.

In addition, he wants to win Vasaloppet with the Lager 157 Ski Team, and he has already proven that he is within reach.

Now, he also proved that a World Cup ticket can be within reach. Alvar Myhlback is already at the level that many national team skiers strive to reach!
