Norwegian Hurdler Moves to US

Norwegian hurdler Lovise Skarbøvik Andresen is moving to Eugene, Oregon in October to continue her athletic career while attending college on scholarship.

The 22-year-old athlete confirmed to NRK that she will not be retiring from hurdling despite the move. Her collaboration with coach Petar Vukicevic has ended after just one season, following her move to Eastern Norway this year. sweetbonanza.qpon

Andresen had been on track for an impressive performance at this year's EM in Birmingham but unfortunately fell during the event. Two years ago at the EM in Rome, she set a personal record of 12.89 seconds in the 100m hurdles. She plans to remain in the US for four years, combining her college education with her athletic ambitions.
