The 36-year-old's manager Jørn Ernst tells.

Before last season, the Norwegian ski star made a comeback after a two-year break. Then with the attitude that it would only be one more season. But as time went on, signals came that it could be a continuation towards the Olympic Games in Milano and Cortina.

When the Norwegian cross-country team presented the squads for the Olympic season, Johaug was included – with the proviso that she needed more time to give a final answer.

In the World Championship in Trondheim in February, Johaug won three silver and one bronze medal. In her career, she has a total of 14 World Championship golds and 4 Olympic golds.
