About Helene Marie Fossesholm
Norwegian cross-country skier (Eiker SK) who won three gold medals at the FIS Nordic Junior World Ski Championships before breaking through at senior level, winning World Championship relay gold in 2021 at age 19 and taking her first individual World Cup podium (2nd) at Ruka in November 2020. Also a competitive mountain biker, winning bronze in the junior cross-country race at the 2019 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships. Retired from competitive skiing in 2024 to study medicine.
Retired from the sport in 2024 per Sweden Herald's report on her retirement to pursue a medical career; FIS's biography still lists her status as 'Active' as of research date, which is treated as a lag in FIS's record rather than current status.
Sponsors: Madshus (skis, boots); Swix (race poles) - per FIS's official athlete biography (manufacturer-updated equipment field).
