Bandy
The bandy tournament was a club tournament. Beside the Swedish teams, IFK Helsingfors from Finland also participated. Leipziger HC from Germany was scheduled to appear but the Germans eventually favoured to take part in the 1913 European Bandy Championships, which were held in Switzerland at the same time. The Stockholm team AIK beat IFK Uppsala in the final game by 3-1.[1]
Cross-country skiing
The winter of 1913 had left Stockholm little snow, so this year the cross-country skiing was arranged in Östersund. Beside Swedish skiers, there were competitors from Finland, Norway and Russia. The events were 30, 60 and 90 kilometers for men, and for women 10 kilometer. 90 km was the most prestigious event and this was won by Swede Haldo Hansson.[2]
