Sturla Holm Lægreid isn’t interested in racing past his confession.
After winning a bronze medal at the 2026 Olympics, Sturla revealed in an interview that he had cheated on his then-girlfriend. He also confessed he hoped sharing this would somehow lead to a reconciliation with her.
After the race on February 10th, he explained in a press conference that he had decided to publicly share his feelings, hoping it might reach her and let her know how much she means to him. He admitted it might not work, but he needed to know he’d done everything he could to win her back.
Okay, so you will NOT believe this! After Sturla won the 20km biathlon for Norway – seriously, he was amazing! – he just… confessed something publicly. And it’s gone totally viral! I’ve been following him for ages, and even I was surprised. It’s all anyone is talking about now, and I’m just replaying the race and his confession over and over again!
He recently shared in an interview with NRK that he met the person he considers the love of his life six months ago. Sadly, he also admitted to making a serious mistake three months ago by being unfaithful.
With tears in his eyes, he said he had told her that the past week had been the worst of his life, mentioning it was ‘about a week ago’.
As for his public plea, the 28-year-old admitted he remained hopeful for what may lie ahead.
He told NBC News he wasn’t giving up, despite acknowledging his mistakes and accepting the consequences. He expressed deep regret for his actions, even admitting he sometimes acts foolishly, despite being a member of Mensa.
He explained that he knew she was the one he wanted to spend his life with, and he couldn’t keep his feelings hidden any longer. He felt the only way to truly move forward was to be completely honest with her, hoping she would still accept him. He had already been vulnerable for her, and now he was ready to share everything with the world, feeling he had nothing left to lose.
Sturla’s main goal was to demonstrate the importance of taking responsibility for what you do.
He explained that while he wants to set a good example, it’s important to admit when you’re wrong. He emphasized the need to acknowledge hurtful actions, especially when they affect people you care about.
