The titled Norwegian biathlete, Olympic champion of Beijing-2022 and 7-time world champion Sturla Holm Legrade, who won the bronze medal in the 20 km individual race at the 2026 Games in Milan, burst into tears in front of the TV cameras. Instead of rejoicing over the medal, the Norwegian admitted that he had cheated on his girlfriend.
VIDEO OF THE DAY
“There is one person in the world with whom I would like to share today’s success. She probably didn’t watch the race today… Six months ago I found the love of my life — the most beautiful and kindest of all those I have met. And three months ago I made the biggest mistake by betraying her. I told her about it a week ago. It was the worst week of my life,” said 28-year-old Sturla Legrade .
The Norwegian added that he dared to tell his story the day before the race. In the end, he declared that he was ready to commit social suicide just to get a second chance from the girl.
“I have nothing to lose,” the biathlete continued. “I had a chance at true love, and I screwed it up so incredibly. It’s not a fact that it can be forgiven. But if it can give me even a tiny chance to tell her how much I love her, then I’d rather commit social suicide on live TV to get this small opportunity.

“I don't want to say who she is because I don't want to put her through any more hardships in the middle of all this. She already has a lot to work through after the news she heard last week, but I hope there's still light at the end of the tunnel for both of us. And that she can still love me.”
