December 29, 2012 – There was nothing found to be wrong with Marit Bjørgen (NOR) after her arrhythmia last weekend. The Nordic star is scheduled to be back in competition in mid-January as confirmed by the Norwegian team doctor Dag Lunder to NTB this morning reports Langrenn.

“All samples are normal. We have not found anything wrong. It is planned that she will compete again in mid-January,” said Lunder. Bjoergen will then be back in action at the World Cups in Liberec, Czech for the classic sprint on Saturday, Jan. 12.

It was on Christmas eve during her second workout that the 32-year-old had a higher than normal heart rate. It was this cardiac rhythm disturbance that has caused her to not participate in the Tour de Ski, which starts tomorrow. “Should she get new shocks she now knows how she should deal with it,” according to Lunder said.
