Winter Olympics drama alert! Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Laegreid, fresh off winning a bronze in the men’s 20km race at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games, shocked everyone with a live TV confession that left viewers gobsmacked.
During a heartfelt interview, the emotional 28-year-old admitted to cheating on his girlfriend, hoping to win back her trust. “Six months ago, I found the love of my life, but three months later, I made the biggest mistake by being unfaithful,” he confessed. Owning up to his actions on this massive platform, he said, “I had a gold medal with her. I don’t know what I want to achieve by saying this, but I wish I could share it with her.”
Laegreid revealed he’d told his girlfriend about his infidelity a week prior and called it “the worst week of my life.” Determined to make amends and show his sincerity, he went on, “You have to admit when you do something wrong, especially when it hurts someone you care for deeply.”
His teammate Johannes Dale-Skjevdal confirmed the athletes were aware of the situation. “If he wants to talk about it, he’s free to.” Having already confessed to his fellow athletes, Laegreid emphasised that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make things right: “I’m willing to do anything, even if it means risking everything socially.”
This bombshell overshadowed a successful day for Team Norway, with Johan-Olav Botn taking gold and France’s Eric Perrot grabbing silver. Hopefully, Laegreid finds the resolution he’s hoping for. What do you think – was going public the right move? 🌟💔🤔
