One of Vasaloppet China’s big stars is once again coming over to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the event, and of course to try and claim another victory in the 52,5k race. Sweden’s Anders Hoegberg won China Tour de Ski and Vasaloppet China in 2009, and finished second in last year’s edition.
China Tour de Ski and its main event Vasaloppet China will also feature a number of top female athletes this year. Multiple Swiss champion and three-time Olympic Games qualifier Seraina Mischol will be lining up in Xiwuqi and Changchun as one of the top favourites in the female competition.
The 2011 national champion from Estonia, Siim Sellis, has confirmed his participation for this year’s China Tour de Ski in Xiwuqi and Changchun. Sellis is in good shape following some decent performances in FIS and World Cup events in Finland, Switzerland and Germany. The 24-year-old youngster so far has achieved his best international results in the Scandinavian Cup, and mainly in the sprint circuit. It will be Sellis’ first participation in the China Tour de Ski.
The number of confirmed elite skiers for Vasaloppet China and the overall China Tour de Ski is increasing as we are edging closer and closer to the big week. Swiss skiing star Gaudenz Flury, winner of a very tough Tour de Ski stage in Shangri La, Yunnan Province, two years ago, is coming back to China to take part in the competitions in Xiwuqi and Changchun.
