Vasaloppet2019
Vasaloppet (Swedish for 'the Vasa-race') is an annual long distance cross-country ski race held on the first Sunday of March. The 90 km (56 mi) course starts in the village of Sälen and ends in the town of Mora in northwestern Dalarna, Sweden. It is the oldest cross-country ski race in the world, as well as the one with the highest number of participants.

The race was inspired by a notable journey made by King Gustav Vasa when he was fleeing from Christian II's soldiers in 1520. The modern competition started in 1922 and it has been a part of the Worldloppet events since 1978.

Васалоппет (швед. Vasaloppet) — массовая лыжная марафонская гонка (90 км) между поселком Селен и городом Мура в Даларне, Швеция.

Впервые гонка проводилась в 1922 году и получила название в честь шведского короля Густава Васы, с тех пор она отменялась лишь три раза (1932, 1934, 1990). Гонка проходит в первое воскресенье марта. Васалоппет — одно из самых престижных соревнований среди лыжников. На 90 км гонку организаторами выделяется 15800 номеров. Как правило, все эти номера выкупаются заранее. Например, на Васалоппет-2013 все 15 тысяч номеров были забронированы уже 15 марта 2012 года, всего за 11 дней продаж, почти за целый год до гонки. В 2015 году все 15800 стартовых номеров были забронированы за 83 секунды.

В 1922—1923 и 1981—1996 годах женщины могли участвовать в соревновании, но без отдельных наград, на общих основаниях. В 1924—1980 годах участие женщин было запрещено. Отдельный зачёт среди женщин ведётся с 1997 года, причём 4 раза побеждала шведская лыжница София Линд.

In 1520, the young nobleman Gustav Ericsson Vasa was fleeing from the troops of Christian II, king of Denmark, Sweden and Norway (the Kalmar Union). Much of the Swedish nobility was in opposition to the king, and had nicknamed him Christian the Tyrant. In a move to silence the opposition, Christian invited the Swedish aristocracy to a reconciliation party in Stockholm, only to have them, including Gustav's parents, massacred in what came to be known as the Stockholm Bloodbath.[1]

Gustav fled through Dalarna, fearing for his life if he were discovered by the king's troops. He spoke to the men of Mora at a gathering and tried to convince them to raise a levy and start a rebellion against King Christian. The men refused to join the rebellion, and Gustav started out west, toward Norway to seek refuge. However, the men in Mora changed their minds after hearing that the Danish rulers had decided to raise taxes, and now they wanted to join the rebellion with Gustav as their leader. They sent out the two best skiers in the county, two brothers from Mora, Lars and Engelbrekt, to search for him and they caught up with him at Sälen. On 6 June 1523, Gustav Vasa was crowned King of Sweden, after having defeated the Danish king Christian and dissolved the Kalmar Union. Since that day, Sweden has been an independent nation.

While Gustav traveled from Mora to Sälen, the modern race is run the opposite way, finishing in Mora.
