Passing of Nils Karlsson
Swedish cross-country legend Nils "Mora-Nisse" Karlsson who won the traditional Vasaloppet race in Sweden nine times and took gold in the 50 kilometre race at the 1948 St. Moritz Olympic Winter Games has died last Saturday at the age of 94.
Born in 1917 in the small town of Mora in central Sweden where the 90-kilometre long Vasaloppet finishes, Karlsson became known to Swedes as "Mora-Nisse."
Karlsson had 17 individual competition wins in Swedish national championships and won a bronze medal in the 50 kilometre race at the 1950 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships.
FIS wishes to express its sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Nils Karlsson.
