"A day after a stunning confession on live television that he had cheated on his girlfriend, Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Laegreid on Wednesday said he regrets going public with his private life at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. In an interview with Norwegian network NRK after winning bronze in the men's 20-kilometer individual race on Tuesday, Laegreid revealed on camera that he had been unfaithful "to the love of my life" in an apparent attempt to win her back."
""I am not quite myself these days, and not thinking clearly," he said. "My apologies go to Johan-Olav, who deserved all the attention after winning gold. They also go to my ex-girlfriend, who unwillingly ended up in the media spotlight. I hope she is doing well. I cannot undo this, but I will now put it behind me and focus on the Olympics. I will not answer any further questions about this.""
Sturla Holm Laegreid apologized for revealing a private infidelity during the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics and said he regrets making the matter public. He acknowledged not thinking clearly, pledged to focus on the Olympics, and stated he will not answer further questions. Laegreid apologized to teammate Johan-Olav Botn for diverting attention after Botn won gold and apologized to his ex-girlfriend for placing her in the media spotlight. Norwegian media contacted the ex-girlfriend, who said forgiveness is difficult and that she did not choose the publicity and found the situation painful.
