Updated April 14, 2025

Therese Johaug was clear last winter that she would retire after this season.
But now she is considering the Olympics next year.
Some of her biggest competitors are convinced that it will be a continuing journey.
– She will have a hard time resisting another year at this level, says Ebba Andersson to SVT Sport.

Johaug made a comeback last autumn after a break of over two years, but has repeatedly stated that the return was only for one season.

However, following the season finale in Lahti, she confirmed that it was 99% certain that she would retire; yet, she has slowly started to sway and recently admitted that the chance of her continuing is now greater than before.
