"Six months ago, I met the love of my life, the most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life and was unfaithful."
"I want to be a good role model, but I just have to admit when I make mistakes. It hurts to admit when you do something you can't stand for and hurt someone you love so much. But that's life now."
"I have nothing to lose. I had a chance at true love, and I screwed up so badly. It's not necessarily forgivable. But if this gives me a tiny chance to tell her how much I love her, I'd rather commit social suicide on live TV just to get that little chance,"
Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Lægreid won bronze in the men's 20km at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy and immediately used his post-race interview to confess infidelity. He said he met the love of his life six months earlier, cheated three months ago, admitted the affair a week ago, and experienced the worst week of his life. He expressed regret, a desire to be a good role model, and acknowledged causing deep hurt. He later told NRK he confessed publicly hoping to win a chance at reconciliation, saying he had nothing to lose and would risk social suicide to tell her he loved her.
