Norwegian Hurdler Moves to USA for College

Norwegian hurdler Lovise Skarbøvik Andresen is moving to Eugene, Oregon in October on a college scholarship, ending her collaboration with coach Petar Vukicevic after just one season.

The 22-year-old athlete confirmed to NRK that she will continue pursuing her hurdling career while studying in the US for the next four years. She emphasized that she is not retiring from the sport despite the change in environment. afnews.co.za

Andresen had previously moved to Eastern Norway to train under Vukicevic this season. Her performance at this year's EM in Birmingham was disappointing as she fell during the race, though she previously set a personal record of 12.89 seconds in the 100m hurdles at the EM in Rome two years ago.
