[3] Njåtun withdrew from defending her national title the following season due to illness,[4] but came back to win four successive gold medals in the allround championships from 2013 to 2016, and again in 2019.

Njåtun has been on the podium in the World Cup twice, in Berlin 2010[5] and in Erfurt in 2018 (both in the 1500 metre event).

Njåtun's medal was the first by a Norwegian female skater at the World Allround Championships since Bjørg Eva Jensen in 1980.

During the competition, Njåtun also won the 1500 metres event and set a new national distance record of 1:52.71.

She also failed to qualify for the final distance at the 2016 World Allround Championships, finishing as number nine.
