A roller skiing competition in Ulricehamn on June 1 may not say much about the World Championships squad for Trondheim next winter. But 18-year-old Alvar Myhlback outclassed the Swedish national team members in the Svenska Spel Summer Tour 2024 and showed he wants to fight for a World Championships spot.

According to Langd.se, it looked like a duel between Eric RosjĂś and Alvar Myhlback for a long time, but in the end, no one could follow the junior from BjursĂĽs. RosjĂś was 11 seconds behind the winner at the finish, with a good performance.

Behind, there were remarkable gaps. Edvin Anger 50 seconds, Leo Johansson 57 seconds, Calle Halfvarsson 59 seconds, Truls Gisselman 1:20, Marcus Grate 1:39, Oskar Svensson 3:09, and Johan HäggstrÜm 3:46. Those are the gaps behind the 18-year-old Junior World Champion Alvar Myhlback.

Even though the Swedish national team was at a transfer training camp with long roller skiing stages every day, this was an impressive performance by Alvar Myhlback, who stated that the World Championships in Trondheim is a goal for next winter season.

In addition, he wants to win Vasaloppet with the Lager 157 Ski Team, and he has already proven that he is within reach.
