Due to a shoulder injury, she missed the 2007 World Championship in France. Fully recovered, Lunde Borgersen came back for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where Norway won a gold medal. At the end of the year, the absence of Gro Hammerseng forced Breivik to select a new captain for the 2008 European Championship. Lunde Borgersen was chosen for the task, and as captain of the Norwegian team, she led them to their third consecutive European gold. Her performance was recognized when she was selected Playmaker of the All-Star Team and Most Valuable Player of the championship.
