For most athletes, the first few moments after winning the big one are ones of pure euphoria.
And you’ll usually hear the same things if you speak to one in those sorts of moments.
Topics such as going to Disney World or thanking God are common responses after winning in sports.
Admitting you cheated on your girlfriend? That’s not nearly as common — though now it’s not unheard of.
Sturla Holm Laegreid won an Olympic bronze medal last week for Norway in the biathlon, an event which consists of cross-country skiing and rifle shooting.
According toFox News, it was the first individual Olympic medal of his career (he won a team gold medal at the Beijing Olympics).
But instead of just reminiscing over all those were rooting him on (though he did do that) in a post-event interview, Laegreid was more focused on who likelywasn’trooting him on.
“There’s someone I wanted to share it with who might not be watching today. Six months ago, I met the love of my life — the most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago, I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her,” Laegreid said, per Fox News.
He added: “I told her about it a week ago. It’s been the worst week of my life.”
