Introduction

Vasaloppet 2019 was raced yesterday from Sälen to Mora with near 16000 participants. The official result service does a decent job in delivering what the folks want to know from their race. However, there are few thing missing and I thougt to address some on our way back to Finland.

In this post I will focus on splits and present results for each splits/stage to answer questions like who was fastest between Risberg and Evertsberg? (By the way, Oskar Kardin was fastest..!)

Data

In order to compute such measures I needed the data from all participants and from all splits. With a little bit of tinkering I wrote a script that scrapes the official results service and returns a data with row per each participant for each splits. Script is written in R and can be downloaded from here: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1702298

Disclaimer!
It is not stated on http://results.vasaloppet.se/2019 under what license the results data can be re-used. Therefore I cannot license the data either and ask you to be clear about it, too! The code linked above can be used as you wish under MIT-license!
Also, there are mistakes in the analysis as it was quickly written in a car between Mora and Stockholm! Also the quality of underlying data is unknown to me!

Results

Below we have a table for each nine legs with top 20 skiers. For the complete data, probably including yourself, download an Excel file from here with a tab per split! (9,5 MB!!).
