Therese Johaug tempted by 2028 Los Angeles Olympic marathon bid

She has four Olympic gold medals in skiing. Now Norwegian star Therese Johaug is tempted to try to make it to the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028. Maybe I should do it! It would have been so much fun, she says in her podcast.

Johaug became the best European woman in the half marathon in Copenhagen this weekend with a time of 1:08.43.

In Los Angeles, the marathon is the event of the year. And the former Norwegian ski star feels tempted.

It would have been really fun to be at a Summer Olympics if you could qualify, she says in the podcast Gukild & Johaug.

NRK's athletics commentator Jann Post believes that Johaug can qualify.

"If she wants to and is motivated, I see it as very realistic. What speaks for it is her capacity," Post tells VG.
