The most Assiduous Worldloppet Nations 2008

October 5, 2008

The last few years we have published a list of the most assiduous Worldloppet Nations based on the number of skiers that were multiple masters from the different countries. Below is an updated list as of the end of the 2007-2008 season.

Criteria

a skier is considered to be an assiduous WL skier if he/she is a Multiple Master, MM. Double Master gives 2 points, Triple Master gives 3 points etc. The data is taken from the Worldloppet web site on July 16, 2008. We have also added the number of Global Worldloppet Skiers in the table but this number is at this time not considered in ranking the nations.
