The Alliansloppet 48 km in Trollhättan delivered another day of high drama.
In the men’s race, Alvar Myhlback continued to build his reputation as one of the brightest stars in long-distance skiing. The 19-year-old Swede added Alliansloppet to his growing list of victories, powering through to win in a thrilling sprint finish ahead of Thomas Joly and Amund Hoel. It was Myhlback’s first victory at Alliansloppet, but given his form and composure, it seems unlikely to be his last.

The women’s race saw Magni Smedås take her second Alliansloppet title, showcasing both strength and tactical intelligence. She crossed the line ahead of Sweden’s Hanna Lodin and Jenny Larsson, both of whom delivered impressive performances in front of a home crowd.
