""Three months ago, I cheated on the love of my life, the most beautiful and kindest person," he said. "I told her a week ago. And it's been the worst week of my life. I had a gold medal in life, and there's probably a lot of people out there who look at me differently now, but I only have eyes for her. Sports has taken a bit of a back seat these past couple of days. Yeah, I wish I could share this with her.""
""I've realized that this is the woman of my life, and I can't live my whole life keeping that from her. My only path to the finish line is to tell her everything and put it all on the table, and hope that she'll still love me. I've done that for her, and now for the entire world. I've nothing to lose.""
Sturla Holm Lægreid captured bronze in the men's 20km individual race at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. He used his post-race interview to confess that he cheated on his girlfriend three months earlier and that he told her a week ago. She ended the relationship after learning of the betrayal. Lægreid described the past week as the worst of his life and said he hoped the public admission might show his love and lead to reconciliation. He said he accepts the consequences, noted he is a Mensa member despite making mistakes, and framed the admission as accountability. The interview circulated online and drew confusion and criticism.
