In tears, 27-year-old ski jumper Maren Lundby, who won Olympic gold on a normal hill in Pyeongchang 2018, tells NRK that she is over next season. And especially miss the Winter Olympics in Beijing.
– It’s very heavy. I think it’s a good choice, and I do it to take care of myself, not to take any shortcuts. I know that I have always been very careful to do things properly, and I intend to continue with that, she says.
The reason she decided to give up is that she does not feel ready to lose weight to keep the weight off.
– Extreme demands are placed on different things in ski jumping, and weight is one of them.
