The entire skiing world is talking about the big comeback.
Now Norwegian skiing queen Therese Johaug has made up her mind.
– She says that herself, agent Jörn Ernst reveals to VG.
The recent big talk in the skiing world is about to come to an end. After everyone has talked about a possible comeback for the Norwegian ski queen Therese Johaug she has now decided.
Johaug’s return
In the spring of 2022, Johaug ended her successful career and shortly afterwards she became pregnant for the first time in her life. On Norway’s national day, May 17 last year, daughter Kristin was born, but there has always been a longing to return to skiing.

It started as a rumor that the 35-year-old was considering returning to the ski slopes again and in recent months it has intensified. Recently, Johaug was back with a starting patch on his chest for the Norwegian championships.
The new message
She outclassed all opposition at 30km and won by almost three minutes ahead of the runner-up. But despite the superior victory, the multiple Olympic and World Cup gold hero still doubts whether it is worth jumping into the boots again for the big dream of the Skiing World Cup 2025 in Trondheim.

Already at the end of April, Norway’s national skiing team announces its squads for the coming season, but then Therese Johaug’s name will not be included. She has been given additional time to think about the big decision, but it is now clear that the Norwegian has decided on a deadline.
– The decision on a possible comeback will come at the end of May or the beginning of June. She says so herself, says Johaug’s agent Jörn Ernst to the Norwegian newspaper VG.

For most national ski teams, the pre-season starts from May 1, but the reason for the late decision is due to several reasons.
– It’s because she has to train hard, try the training routine that she knows is required, try to get to the level she knows she has to be at, while having the family situation she has. She will use the time until the end of May or June to test whether the training works, her agent told the newspaper.
