The Norwegian biathlon talent made her World Cup debut just before Christmas. But in January, everything came to an abrupt halt. Now her career is on pause for an indefinite period.
After 17 years on the World Cup circuit and 15 championship medals, it is all over. The biathlon star has decided to retire.
Jessie Diggins confirms that this will be her final season as a skier. The races on home soil in Lake Placid in March will be the last of her career.
This winter’s biathlon breakout star paid about 13.000 euros out of her pocket – buying her way to success.
She is a two-time Vasaloppet champion and overall winner of the FIS Marathon Cup in 2011. An unusual encounter prompted her to reconsider her path and ultimately propelled her to become one of the top long-distance skiers in the world.
