Hilde Gjermundshaug Pedersen (40) claims that this will be her last season as an elite ski racer. She is racing for gold at Worlds before she retires.

<p>– Only gold matters in the relays. I want to contribute to that, says Pedersen.</p>
<p>Hilde was toying with the idea of retiring after last season, but decided to race one more winter. It’s over after this season.</p>
<p>– My plan is to race until the last weekend after Easter. It’s over after that, for sure. The next Olympics are out of question, claims the forty year-old.</p>
<p>– The next Olympics is at altitude and requires long altitude preparations and I’m not up for that, says Hilde.</p>
<p>She still feels that all the time she has spent at camps with the younger skiers on the team has been positive.</p>
<p>– I feel that I still live in a young environment and that I have a young mind. That’s very positive for me, says Pedersen.</p>
<p>It’s regardless still over after this season. It would for that reason taste extra good if she could win gold at Worlds this winter.</p>
<p>– A gold at Worlds would be the icing on the cake. I need to work incredibly hard and focus on what I’m doing. To stay healthy is the biggest challenge. I need to at least believe that I can make it, says Pedersen.</p>
