Marit Bjoergen hints at retirement

Norwegian skier Marit Bjoergen has hinted that she will not be competing at the next Winter Olympic Games in South Korea.

The 33-year-old secured the gold medal in the women's cross-country 30km mass start event on Saturday with a time of 1:11:05.2.

She told reporters: "Four years is a long time, and I'm not getting younger. I'm also thinking about having a family. I don't want to do this at 90 percent."

The win gave Bjoergen her 10th medal at the Games, making her one of the most decorated female Winter Olympians of all time.
