It should be the best moment of glory of his life, but Norwegian biathlon player Sturla Holm Legrade is having the worst week of his life due to a momentary mistake.

Regrade recorded 31:32.5 in the men's 12.5km tracking race at the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics at the Biathlon Arena in Anterselva, Italy, on the 15th (Korea time) and won the silver medal after Martin Fonsiluma (31:11.09 in Sweden).

Legrade, who won bronze medals in succession in the men's 20km individual event and the men's 10km sprint earlier, decorated his third medal in silver this time, but it is hard to find a smile on his face.

It was because of his personal history that Regrade made his name widely known. According to Fox Sports in the U.S., he made a surprise confession in an interview with his country's broadcasting palace NRK shortly after winning a bronze medal in the men's 20km individual event on the 11th.

He said, "I have a story I want to tell someone who can't watch today's broadcast. Six months ago I met the love of my life. "I'm the most beautiful and nice person in the world," he said. "Three months ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life. Betrayed her and cheated on her and confided it to her a week ago. The past week was the worst time of my life," he said.

It was a story that didn't have to be revealed, but he brought it up because he had hope that this confession would turn his ex-girlfriend's mind back. "I won the gold medal of my life (ex-girlfriend). Of course, many people might think differently, but I can only see her. Sports have taken a back seat in recent days. I want to share this joy with her," he added.

"I tried to set a good example, but I did something stupid," he said. "I got a good video from my hometown club, and I was motivated today after seeing it. As I said earlier, I want to be a good example, but I have to admit it when I do something wrong. If you have done something unacceptable and hurt your loved ones, you must admit that fact," he said. During the interview, I shed tears.

However, things did not change easily despite his courageous remarks. His ex-girlfriend told Norwegian media VG, "I confessed my love in front of people around the world, but it's hard to forgive," adding, "I didn't want to be in this situation and it's so painful that I have to go through this." We've been in touch and he knows my opinion on this," he said.

Legrade is in a situation where he can never enjoy the joy of winning a series of medals. Asked how he was controlling his mind about the event even after winning his third medal, he replied, "I'm trying to focus on the right thing at the right time."
