Birger Wasenius, from Helsinki, was the last World Champion before World War II broke out.
On the 10000 m Wasenius was paired with Ballangrud, and this race is considered one of the greatest and most exciting in the history of speed skating.
After 4400 m he was too far behind Ballangrud and gave up, and concentrated on beating Austrian Max Stiepl, who had done 17.30,0 in a previous pair.

The one they found was Birger Wasenius from the traditional Skridskoklubben, the grandson(?) of the old enthusiast, fire officer Gösta Wasenius.
Parkkinen now was fitted out to become the successor of Wasenius, and reached a high level, although international competitions were missing, and especially after 1940, when the Norwegians went to strike, both he and Lesche were among the 2-3 best skaters in the world in their gender, probably the very best some of the years.
But Parkkinen didn't go to Oslo to defend Wasenius' championship without serious intents, and encouraged by Verné Lesche, who defended her championship easily in Drammen, he delivered a strong and level series and defeated the new sprinter locomotive of the Norwegians, Sverre Farstad, by the 22.3 seconds he needed in the last distance.

Blomqvist var nå tilbake og gjorde pene prestasjoner både i VM og i OL, hvor Wasenius tok sølv på begge langdistansene bak Ballangrud og en bronse på 1500 m.
Laginnsatsen ved EM i Riga var bra, selv om det ikke ble medaljer, og i VM på hjemmebane i regnvær mot en gjeng nordmenn som hadde kommet fra rekordstorm på oljeisen i Davos sikret Wasenius seg mesterskapet med en uhyre sterk 1500 m, bedre enn Thunberg i velmaktsdagene, distansen han tapte det på i 1934.
Krigen kom, russerne sto ved grensen og i stedet for å kjempe om OL-medaljer ble Wasenius sendt hjem fra slagmarken i en kiste.
