"Cheating has been part and parcel of the Olympics since at least Eupolus of Thessaly in 388BC. But crooked boxers from ancient Greece never confessed their indiscretions on live television. Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Lgreid did exactly that after winning bronze in the men's 20km biathlon for his first individual Olympic medal, publicly admitting he'd two-timed his girlfriend three months earlier and calling it my biggest mistake in an overshare for the ages carried live by national broadcaster NRK."
"Every Olympics produces at least one breakout star. Few of them, however, arrive on four legs. Nazgul, a two-year-old Czechoslovakian wolfdog who lives at a nearby hotel in Tesero, burst on to the course during the women's cross-country team sprint qualifier and launched a pell-mell dash for the line behind Croatia's Tena Hadzic, though his time did not count because he is male. And a dog. Hadzic briefly wondered if she was hallucinating before officials escorted the crowd favourite off the snow."
Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Laegreid publicly admitted on live television that he had two-timed his girlfriend three months earlier after winning bronze in the men's 20km biathlon, calling the act his biggest mistake. The anonymous wronged party later told the Norwegian paper VG that forgiveness would be difficult. A two-year-old Czechoslovakian wolfdog named Nazgul ran onto the women's cross-country team sprint course in Tesero, sprinting behind Croatia's Tena Hadzic before officials escorted the animal off the snow. A curling match between Canada and Sweden turned heated as Niklas Edin's team accused Brad Jacobs' Canadians of double-touching the stone.
