After two rounds of overtraining and rhabdomyolysis, a viral infection, and chronic fatigue syndrome, she has now made a decision about her future.
After having her World Championship dream and the entire previous season ruined by injuries, the 30-year-old from Norway is back on top with another international victory.
After a challenging season cut short due to illness, the Ski Classics Legend Magni Smedås is back in training and preparing for a return to the Pro Tour with Team Eksjöhus.
She had big goals. She wanted to qualify for the World Championships in Trondheim and had her sights set on more triumphs in Ski Classics. But her body said no, and none of that came to fruition. Instead, she will be an expert commentator on SC Play for the Grönklitt Weekend.
Magni Smedås is one of the female stars of Ski Classics. She is also an excellent traditional cross-country skier with two bronze medals at 30km in the Norwegian championships.
The pre-season was marked by overtraining and injuries. The season start was delayed for weeks due to a back injury. But on Sunday, she’s going for the win in Vasaloppet.
This winter, she decided to focus on both Ski Classics and traditional cross-country skiing, with the 2025 World Championships as her goal. However, this summer, the 28-year-old from Norway had to radically change her training to avoid a complete halt.
Magni Smedås, Team Eksjöhus, has been responsible for a solid first season in Ski Classics. Now, Smedås has signed an agreement for the next three seasons.
Ski Classics ends Season XIV tomorrow with the brand-new Ski Classics Finale Summit 2 Senja, in Norway. After Reistadløpet today, these are the rankings, bib-holders, and changes in various overall competitions.
In an impressive finish at the twelfth event of Ski Classics Season XIV from Rena to Lillehammer in Norway, Magni Smedås, Team Eksjöhus, secured third place in the thrilling Birkebeinerrennet.
