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."

Wait, does biathlete mean shooting and skiing, or something else?



All her friends are telling her there's norway she should stay with him.

Two things can be true at the same time.

Well, that’s ONE WAY of embarrassing her on The World Stage while you show the rest of us who you really are! *SPIT*

What is with the dearth of self-involved, over-sharing, politically retarded athletes this time around?

Quit giving them a microphone for Pete’s Sake - before they do any more damage to themselves, to others or to the Olympic brand! Yeesh!

A young adult male athlete that has more hormone in his blood than blood cells meets a young adult female athlete. Pour in a tiny bit of alcohol (very likely) and mix thoroughly. What could possibly go wrong? He probably received the best bj since his honeymoon.

My guess is they were no longer together because of his affair and this is his way of showing contrition, maybe hoping to get her back.

Embarrassing her on a world stage is not the way to get her back. Baaaaad move IMO. The Loonie got off the path.

Does “biathlete” means that he gets it on with two athletes?

File this under stuff that didn’t used to happen when people were adults.
