Ellen Margit Ingrid Nordin, (August 10, 1897 - May 3,1982), was a Swedish gymnastics director and the first woman to compete in the Vasaloppet, which she did in 1923. She later lived in Grängesberg and competed during the race for IFK Grängesberg in southern Dalarna.[1] After the race, female participants in the Vasaloppet were banned, a ban that only ended in 1981.
