[ASFN Admin]

Sturla Holm Laegreid -- who won a bronze for Norway in the biathlon -- made headlines for a wild reason on Tuesday: He tearfully spoke about how he cheated on his now-ex-girlfriend and what he regretted about it.

"Six months ago I met the love of my life," he said, per Google Translate. "The most beautiful, nicest person in the world and three months ago I made the biggest mistake of my life and cheated on her."

Per Norwegian tabloid VG, his ex has spoken out. She stayed anonymous -- no name given, so take that for what it's worth -- and had this to say:

"It's hard to forgive. Even after a declaration of love in front of the whole world," she writes to VG. ...

"I did not choose to be put in this position, and it hurts to have to be in it. We have had contact and he is aware of my opinions on this," she continues. ...

"To my family and friends who have embraced me and supported me during this time. Also to everyone else who has thought of me and sympathized, without knowing who I am."
