Ex-girlfriend of Norwegian Olympian responds to cheating revelation
Global News
Laegreid's ex-girlfriend said she has been in contact with her former partner and that he is aware of her opinion on the situation.
The ex-girlfriend of Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Laegreid — who admitted live on television to being unfaithful in their relationship — has responded to his plea for forgiveness.
His ex-girlfriend, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to Norwegian tabloid VG, said it will be “hard to forgive” Laegreid for his actions and for choosing to publicly air his indiscretions.
“I did not choose to be put in this position, and it hurts to have to be in it,” she told the publication.
“We have had contact, and he is aware of my opinions on this,” she added.
VG said it had contacted Laegreid for comment, but he did not wish to respond to his ex-girlfriend.
Laegreid, a world champion biathlete and Olympic medallist, revealed shortly after finishing third in the biathlon — on live TV — that he had cheated on his now-ex-girlfriend three months into their six-month relationship.
“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,” he said.
Laegreid said Tuesday that he told his former girlfriend about his affair a week ago.
