The world's most acclaimed Winter Olympics quit after the gold in Pyeongchang 2018, but have felt the urge to come back.

- I've been out of the sport for two years and lacked a concrete goal to work towards, says Björgen, who is now a two-grandson.

She will be part of Anders and Fredrik Aukland's Team Ragde Eiendom and trained with the team during the day. Six miles of skiing on roller skis was on the program and Björgen hung out for three before giving herself a blow in her hand and feelings in an elbow.

- I managed to keep up for three miles and I can take it gradually and not suffer injuries like this in the beginning, it went better than expected even though I have some to work with, says Björgen.  

With the superstar on the way back into the tracks, expectations are raised.

- Marit will train well. It will be less quantity than before but focused on the Vasaloppet. We know what it takes to win the race. She has great chances to be in the top, says stall manager Jörgen Aukland.

The big goal this winter is the Vasa race, but she does not close the door for starts even in Italian Marcialonga, another race she has never run before, or at the Norwegian championships.
