This evening, a 55 km long distance roller-ski race will take place at Toppidrettsvekan, a three-day competition event in Trondheim, Norway. Many Visma Ski Classics stars are on the start line, but at least three big names have now withdrawn from the race.

The Swedish National Team member and the six-time World Championship medalist Frida Karlsson, the World Champion in 50 km classic race last winter Emil Iversen and the two-time relay Olympic gold medalist and one-time World Champion in relay Didrik Tønseth are all feeling a little under the weather, and thus not going to participate today.

The results of today’s race will be posted on our site later this evening when the race is over.
