Until 2011, Vesna took聽another four podium spots including two victories in Rybinsk, Russia. After a total of five individual and one team World Cup podium, the career was crowned with a third place at the Sotchi Olympic Winter Games in 2014.
Your FIS Cross-Country World Cup family will miss you and wishes you all the best for your future!
