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.

Norwegian hurdler Lovise Skarbøvik Andresen will continue her athletic career in the United States. The 22-year-old has received a scholarship to attend college in Eugene, Oregon, where she plans to stay for four years while pursuing her hurdling ambitions.

Andresen, who previously trained under coach Petar Vukicevic, had a disappointing fall at this year's European Championships in Birmingham after setting a personal record of 12.89 seconds in the 100m hurdles at the 2021 European Championships in Rome. She confirmed to NRK that she is not retiring from hurdling and will continue to compete while studying in the United States. wlop.pl
