The pi & ugrave; great distance runner of all time & egrave; just back from & rsquo; yet another triumphant season in which he won his first Tour de Ski, his fourth World Cup and three medals, including two d & rsquo; gold, the World Championships in Falun. Logical that in almost 35 years and having won everything, and repetition, may be the reasons, especially on the eve of a season that does not have a main event.
& Ldquo; & Egrave; was a very good season, I won the Tour de Ski, I gi & agrave; won the World Cup and I hit the & rsquo; goal of winning a medal d & rsquo; individual gold at the World Championships, in addition to the relay. Mediter & ograve; about my future and April trarr & ograve; Conclusions & rdquo ;, said Bj & oslash; rgen, however, that would have the constraint of some sponsorships that will expire only in 2018, after the Olympics in Pyeongchang: & ldquo; & Egrave; True, I have signed contracts until 2018, but frankly not & egrave; what I want to occupy now & rdquo ;.
Even Therese Johaug feeds perplexity & agrave; in case of withdrawal of his compatriot: & ldquo; We will do everything possible because & eacute; do not stop, the day when there & ograve; will happen & agrave; disappear a piece of the team and will & agrave; strange for us that we will remain. No, I will not even think of this hypothesis, although the & rsquo; important & egrave; Marit who is at peace with itself & rdquo; said the queen of Falun.
If you were to actually retire, Bj & oslash; rgen not be able to write the & rsquo; last page of history that is missing: currently & egrave; In fact, at an altitude of 112 individual victories all-inclusive in his career, the German skater Gunda Niemann-Stirnemann, the absolute record holder in winter sports, & egrave; 120. It would have 8 other successes (Quest & rsquo; year, just as an example, has obtained 13) to tile and become definitely a living legend.
