The opening two stages of the Champions Tour 2025 in Norway took place in truly challenging conditions. Heavy rain, strong winds, and slippery roads pushed the athletes to their limits – but also delivered thrilling racing and dramatic finishes.
One of the highlights came in the Blink Classics, where young Swedish sensation Alvar Myhlback, the reigning Vasaloppet champion, claimed a spectacular victory after a fierce battle with some of the sport’s biggest names.

A Special 2025 Collaboration
This year’s Champions Tour is a unique partnership between BLINK, Toppidrettsveka, and Trollhättan Action Week. It was created to ensure top-level competition for elite rollerski athletes after the World Classic Tour announced a pause for the 2025 season due to financial constraints.
What’s Next
The action continues with Toppidrettsveka Hitra (August 22), before moving to Sweden for the grand finale at Alliansloppet 48 km (August 30) and Alliansloppet 15 km Individual Start (August 31). The overall champions will be crowned in Trollhättan, sharing a 70,000 SEK prize pool – with 20,000 SEK going to the winners.
The fight for the title is far from over – and the next stages promise even more excitement.
