With only 200 participants in its inaugural year in 2003, the festival attracted more than 10,000 athletes from 31 countries and regions as well as thousands more ski fans this year. It was reported that about 50,000 people come to train here each year as Vasaloppet festival has gradually been gaining popularity these years.
"I have skied here for four years and I noticed that the citizens taking part in the game increase annually while the audiences grow in number, " said Anders Hogberg from Sweden who successfully defended his men's 52.5km classic skiing title on Wednesday in the Changchuan stage of FIS season while China's Chen Shuang triumphed in the women's category.
In the meantime, the city of Changchun benefits from the festival.
Guan Shusen, president of Vasaloppet festival, said the festival had served as a name card for the city of Changchun.
"European Broadcasting Union broadcast the feature of Vasaloppet China in more than 40 European countries yearly," he said. "The festival is like a window of Changchun."

According to the Telegraph article by Richard Spencer, 04 Aug 2007
"Chinese authorities demanded the right yesterday to veto the reincarnation of "living buddhas", the holy figures most revered by the Tibetan faithful.
In a striking display of Beijing's determination to tighten control over Tibet, a 14-chapter notice published by the state religious affairs bureau set out "approval procedures" for new living buddhas and said monasteries that did not follow them would be punished."
We look forward to Bejing appointing the next Kelsang Gyatso, to claim for the proletariat his extensive NKT real estate assets worldwide. LOL
