On the same day as Tjejvättern and Halvvättern, the 100 km Vätternrundan was also held. With the new setup of running all three races on Saturday, Motala was teeming with cyclists. The 100 km Vätternrundan has gained popularity among both elite and e-cyclists alike.

One of the more experienced riders was Paralympic star Louise Jannering, who was sharpening her form. “The 100 km Vätternrundan is part of my training for Paris,” said Louise, who was accompanied by Gabriel Sandör as her tandem pilot—one of Sweden’s top triathletes. It was Gabriel’s first time as a pilot on Louise’s tandem bike, and he didn’t hide that it turned into a solid workout for him as well.
