Marit Bjørgen has released an interview with the Aftenposten newspaper where he talked about his future. In particular he touched two arguments that were quite felt in Norway, albeit for many different reasons.

In particular, she was asked about the advice of the Norwegian Cross-Country Team doctor who suggested that she avoid any contact with her son for 2 months in order to reduce the risk of illness during the approach to the Olympic Games Pyeong Chang.
In this regard, the biggest founder of ever said that "two months are too many. I lived with my partner and my son until 14 days before leaving for Korea, where I will stay for three weeks. Probably it will be difficult already so, because I will not be able to see them for five weeks.
By the way, during my summer my son Marius will go to a kindergarten. I was told that it is not ideal, because it could take some viruses among the other children and pass it on to me.
Personally, I'm very quiet about this. For me, it is more important for my son to socialize with other children rather than isolate him to reduce the risk of getting sick. I will try to follow stricter rules on hygiene, for example washing my hands more often than usual, and I will hope that everything will go well. "
In addition, Bjørgen was asked if his extraordinary career (126 victories in top races) is really close to the spectacle and hence, after the upcoming Olympic Games, he will hang skis to the nail.
The phenomenal thirty-six-year-old Scandinavian responded that "this is an excellent question, to which I still have no answer. I will make a decision about my career only in the spring. Everything will depend on my motivation. If I wanted to, then I could go on another year. Otherwise I'll stop and maybe I'll give a little brother or sister to Marius. "
