Olympic ex-champ dies
Print Edition
Olympic cross-country skiing gold medalist Vibeke Skofterud has died aged 38 following a jet-skiing accident, the Norwegian Ski Federation confirmed yesterday. Norwegian Skofterud was reported missing on Saturday and her body was found by a rescue team on Sunday near the island of St Helena in southern Norway, the BBC reported. “It’s an unthinkable tragedy that our life-loving Vibeke is gone. Our thoughts go to Vibeke’s family and her closest,” national team director Vidar Lofshus said. Skofterud won the 4x5km cross-country skiing relay gold at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010 and was twice world champion — in 2005 and 2011 — in the discipline.
