Håkan Mossberg nears Vasaloppet record in 57th Öppet spår

On Monday, 82-year-old Håkan Mossberg from Kopparberg completed his 57th edition of Öppet spår in Vasaloppet. Former pro cyclist Emilia Fahlin, who recently ended her career, finished the course in 8 hours and 23 minutes.

Öppet spår is part of the Vasaloppet tradition and took place on Monday with participants from various counties. Håkan Mossberg, 82, from Kopparberg, completed his 57th edition. If he maintains his health and will, he could tie Gösta Lönnelid's record for most Vasalopps or Öppet spår in four years, and surpass it the following year.

Emilia Fahlin, who ended her 19-year professional cycling career last autumn, was persuaded by friend Erika Örnéus to join. She described 11 hours as a tough goal but finished in 8:23. "A big highlight to finish the crap," she said. Right now, the plan is to sell the skis, Fahlin added.
