"I don't pretend to understand the flood of emotion you must experience after competing and medaling in the Olympics. But I feel confident that no amount of overwhelm could lead me to use the world stage as a de facto couples therapist's office, where I cry, confess I cheated, and hope my partner takes me back."
"But this was not Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Lægreid's experience. After winning bronze in Tuesday's Olympic 20km biathlon, he broke down and confessed to a reporter that he was sad his ex wasn't there-because he had recently cheated on her."
""There is something I want to share with someone who may not be watching today," he said, through tears. "Half a year ago, I met the love of my life. The world's most beautiful and nicest person. Three months ago, I made the mistake of my life and cheated on her, and I told her about that a week ago. This has been the worst week of my life.""
After winning bronze in the Olympic 20km biathlon, Sturla Holm Lægreid broke down during a post-race interview and confessed that he had cheated on his partner. He said he had met "the love of my life" half a year earlier and that confessing the affair a week before had made the past week the worst of his life. The emotional disclosure included statements that sport had come second in recent days and a wish to share the moment with his ex. Subsequent remarks noted he had not yet received a reaction from his ex and he hoped not to make things worse for her.
