Laegreid Says Olympic TV Confession Led to Weight Loss, Eyes Reset Before Kontiolahti

The Norwegian biathlete describes weight loss driven by stress from the televised admission.

Overview

  • He told NRK it became difficult to eat and sleep in the weeks after the Games, resulting in the loss of several kilograms.
  • He plans to rebuild in Kontiolahti this weekend, saying he hopes good meals and rest will help him regain strength.
  • Despite the turmoil, the 29-year-old collected five medals in Antholz, with three silver and two bronze finishes.
  • He said the on-air disclosure was partly an attempt to reconcile with his partner, a bid that did not succeed after he had informed her a week before the events.
  • His former partner told VG she did not choose the public attention, and Laegreid later apologized for drawing others into the situation.
