She returned home from the Olympics in Beijing with five medals in her luggage - three gold and two bronze - and continued the season with a tight overall victory in the World Cup before Swedish Elvira Öberg.

Then Marte Olsbu Röiseland became uncertain about the future.

The biathlon star took a break to distance himself from things and find out if the strain injury in the hip would continue to be a problem.

Just over a month later, the 31-year-old has clearly thought: she continues.

"My husband is going to Germany, so then I probably have no choice.

We will 'rock' the World Cup in Oberhof ", she writes on Instagram.

Her husband, Sverre Olsbu Röiseland, has been hired as an assistant coach for the German biathlon ladies - which thus seems to have been a factor in extending her career by another season.

The competition season begins with the world cup premiere in Kontiolahti on November 29 and the World Cup will be decided in Oberhof, Germany in February.
