Jens Burman has been part of the Swedish national team for many years. After a tough season, he has now confirmed that he is retiring.

Burman ended his season early after failing to qualify for the Olympics. He has now made an announcement on Instagram.

“Time to start a new chapter in life! Since childhood, my interest in cross-country skiing has been great, where the driving force has always been to become as good as possible and constantly try to develop. This driving force is no longer as strong, and so it is time to find new goals in life,” he wrote on social media.

Throughout his career, Burman has competed for Åsarna IK, whom he paid warm tribute to in the post.

“Above all, a big thank you to my family and Åsarna IK. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for your commitment and support regardless of results.”
