Vasaloppet accompanies Swedish astronaut Marcus Wandt to space
In January 2024, the plan is for Marcus Wandt to embark on his first space trip. The Mora-born astronaut has both a Vasaloppet number bib and Vasaloppet medal packed for the journey to the International Space Station (ISS). "I like achievements and challenges and I've been skiing since I could walk. Bringing something from Vasaloppet felt obvious," says Marcus Wandt.
