UPDATE (02/11/26 at 3:57 p.m. ET): The ex-girlfriend of Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Lægreid is speaking out after the Olympian asked for him to take her back live on TV.
Lægreid made the plea after taking home the bronze medal in the men’s 20km biathlon competition on Tuesday, February 10. His anonymous ex reacted to the viral moment in an interview with the Norwegian outlet VG on Wednesday, February 11, stating, “It’s hard to forgive. Even after a declaration of love in front of the whole world.”
