Robert Svensson, a 40-year-old from Nyköping, Sweden, plans to complete all Vasalopp races during the Vasaloppsveckan to inspire others despite his diabetes.
The Vasaloppsveckan, a week-long celebration of cross-country skiing in Sweden, begins this Friday, and Robert Svensson from Nyköping is poised to participate in all the related events. At 40 years old, Robert intends to ski a total of 47.5 miles, starting with the Vasaloppet 30 all the way to the grand finale on March 1st.
