She is the former overall World Cup cross-country winner, but of late has been struggling with some fitness problems... The 26-year-old Norwegian Marit Bjoergen has decided to quit some of the competitions this season... She is worried that if she takes part in too many events, she may suffer in the latter stages of the season.
She has dropped a number of races from her list that include La Clusaz, France, Rybinsk, Russia, Davos, Switzerland and Changchun, China, totaling to eight races.
I was in great shape in July last season but that’s not the case now. I want to have energy during the season.
She had an awesome last season winning the overall World Cup... But she suffered from bronchitis a week before the Olympics that hampered her performance in the games...The cross-country season starts on October 28th in Dusseldorf, She is a great athlete and hope she does well this year, facing minimum fitness problems.
