Therese Johaug returns to the ski slopes again.
Now Ingemar Stenmark admits the big secret.
– I knew about it, says the icon to Expressen.
The Norwegian ski queen Therese Johaug is officially back again. After many months of speculation, the 35-year-old is making a comeback to the ski slopes again.
Johaug returns
She will not particularly care about the World Cup or Tour de Ski, but the big goal is the upcoming Ski World Cup 2025 in Trondheim. Then a historic five-mile for the ladies awaits and Johaug wants to become the first ever to win WC gold at the new distance.

In addition, the Norwegian has been greatly motivated by the fact that things are going so well for the Swedes on the women’s side right now.
– I hope I can make the Swedes tremble, she said herself at the press conference.
Stenmark knew about
But the Swedish rivals do not seem too afraid of Johaug’s return. Both Frida Karlsson and Ebba Andersson has welcomed the challenge and the tough competition.
– No, I still sleep well at night. It’s not like I feel like I have to change my training to deal with Johaug coming back, said Lynn Svahn after the announcement.

Now also reveals the Swedish skiing icon Ingemar Stenmark that he knew about it all along, unlike many other Swedes who were unsure that Johaug would return.
– No, no. I knew it was going on, says “Stenis” to Expressen.
These days, Stenmark has been busy with pole vaulting at the veteran WC in Gothenburg, but at the beginning of the year he made a commercial together with the Norwegian ski queen. Now he is looking forward to seeing his business partner on the ski slopes again.
– I hope it goes well for her. I think for sure she can do well, because I think she only goes five miles. The others have to concentrate on many other distances, so I think she has great chances there, says Stenmark to the evening newspaper.
