(Reuters) - Four-times Olympic gold medallist Therese Johaug of Norway announced her retirement from cross-country skiing on Friday, ending a career in which she also amassed 14 world championship gold medals.

Johaug, who missed the Pyeongchang Winter Games in 2018 because she was serving an 18-month doping ban, has also won three overall world cup titles. She earned three of her Olympic titles at the Beijing Winter Games last month.
