Is there a second German Wasalauf winner after the Vogtlander Gert-Dietmar Klause in 1975? At least 47 years later, serious efforts will be made to master this feat on March 6, 2022. The marathon team “xc-ski.de” and the German Ski Association have agreed on a cooperation for the anniversary run “100 Years of Vasaloppet”. The focus of the “Vasa-Sieg” project is Thomas Bing, who is to be supported in the best possible way in the know-how and on the route by the long-time Vasa runner Thomas Freimuth. The 31-year-old Thuringian Bing finished eleventh on the 90 kilometers between Sälen and Mora in 2021, and has since held the German best time (3:30: 10.9 hours) at the world’s most famous cross-country race.
