Laegreid wins bronze then confesses to affair on TV

AI Summary
Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Laegreid won a bronze medal in the 20km individual biathlon at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. Immediately after the win, Laegreid confessed on live television to having an affair three months prior, calling it "my biggest mistake." He stated he hoped his girlfriend of six months would see his remorse and consider reconciliation. Laegreid, a seven-time world champion and 2022 Olympic gold medalist, expressed concern that his confession might overshadow the victory of fellow Norwegian Johan-Olav Botn, who won gold. Botn dedicated his win to late teammate Sivert Guttorm Bakken, who passed away in December.
