Norwegian biathlete breaks down after winning bronze medal and confesses to cheating on his girlfriend, saying it is “the biggest mistake of my life”.
The joy of winning a bronze medal at the Winter Olympics in Antholz on Tuesday (Feb 10) turned to tears for biathlete Sturla Holm Laegreid as he broke down live on air and confessed he had had an affair.
Asked by Norwegian channel NRK to share his feelings after his bronze in the 20km individual, a teary Laegreid admitted he had made "the biggest mistake of my life".
"There is someone who, perhaps, isn't in front of the screen today. Six months ago, I met the love of my life, the most beautiful and best person in the world," said the 28-year-old.
"And three months ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life and I was unfaithful to her."

I’m sure this was not a guilty conscience, she already knew.
This was a response to “I got caught.”
“He revealed that he had been unfaithful to “the love of my life” and that their relationship ended a week prior to his confession.”
Why would this narcissist think this was a good idea? Want your girl back? Apologize face to face - privately, and do better than bronze.
the “sport” here is Biathlon. You do know what that thing strapped to his back is. Right?
Yep, he might have had a chance if he won the gold.
Is this biathlete a bi athlete? ‘Cause his shtick is kinda gay.
Ex congratulated the gold winner.
A blow up doll?
Ah...rifle. Got it. Sorry.
But has anyone thought that that, whether it was conscious or not, him doing this is going to result in a lot more women chasing him? Think about it.
Uh, silence can be golden Bro.
Remember: "Dearth" comes from "dear" (in the sense of "scarce") - which is exactly the opposite of what you wanted to say here.

It's not just athletes. People nowadays feel the need to share way too much. Cashiers at supermarkets and other realtors seem particularly chatty and sharing.
Thanks, Teach! ;)
Probably felt it was his penance. Who knows exactly. I’m not going to judge it.
