Two athletes may vie for Winter Olympic medal record in PyeongChang

Marit Bjoergen is aware that she can break the record for career Winter Olympic medals and gold medals in PyeongChang.

She’s also aware that the current record holder will likely add to his tally, too.

A pair of Norwegian legends will compete in their final Olympics and compete against each other, but not in the same events, in February.

Bjoergen, a 37-year-old cross-country skier and mother, has won 10 medals, including six golds, among the last four Winter Games. She is already the most decorated woman in Winter Olympic history.

Bjoergen is three medals (and two golds) shy of the overall Winter Olympic medal record.
