Norwegian media are reporting that Astrid Jacobsen will continue racing on World Cup level until Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014.
The twenty-four skier from Oslo will also return to university to pursue medical studies. “The last season, I had a 100 percent leave of absence from my medical school courses.
