Alvar Myhlback, a 19-year-old Swedish cross-country skiing star, is set to defend his title in the Vasaloppet race in Mora on Sunday. The race will be broadcast on SVT. Myhlback is known for his extreme speed and a notable sprint that reportedly causes him to nearly black out.
He has excelled in several finishes this season, including winning last year's Vasaloppet with a huge sprint. His teammate Runar Skaug Mathisen described his sprinting ability as insanely fast.
