Olympic cross-country skiing gold medallist Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen of Norway is set to become a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) after being appointed to replace American Kikkan Randall on the Athletes Commission.
Jacobsen, who won gold as part of the Norwegian 4x5 kilometres relay squad at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, is likely to be sworn in as a full member of the IOC at the Session in Tokyo next month.
The Norwegian takes the place on the Athletes Commission - and the IOC membership that comes with it - vacated by Randall, who resigned this week for personal reasons.
