(Reuters) -Norway's Joergen Graabak, a four-times Olympic champion in Nordic combined, announced his retirement on Friday, nine months before the 2026 Olympics, saying he is looking forward to "new adventures".
The 34-year-old, who is the most successful Olympic combined skier of all time, won gold in the individual large hill at both the 2014 Sochi and 2022 Beijing Olympics, and gold in the team large hill event at both Games.
