HOLMENKOLLEN (AP) Before Marte Olsbu going into the third and final shooting, stood cohabitant Sverre T. Røiseland and screamed that she had to remember to breathe. It gave her piffen she needed to go Norway into the gold medal.
– My partner has meant a lot to me. He has helped me a lot. He arrived in Oslo before normal, and he was here last weekend as well. It’s wonderful to have someone to talk to, so nerves are not too large, say Olsbu VG.
Olsbu is gulløpet: – Went for life
with synnøve solemdal, Fanny Horn Birklands and Tiril Eckhoff could Olsbu dressed gold jacket and call himself world champion in relay today. She was sent out on the last and crucial stage, a task she never had before. At home, to tremendous cheers, got Olsbu applaud from Eckhoff who sent her out alone in the lead.
Olsbu missed two on the first shootings. Pursuers were catching up, but she gave the iron in the groove, and kept away. When she was going into the third and final shooting, notified the nerves themselves.
– I knew that I began to dread. But I tried to think that this is what we’ve trained for, and I tried to enjoy myself instead, she says.
Triumph! Read all about biathlon girls “sensational” gold here!
gold Modest
on the way into the stadium passed her roommate Røiseland, who had found a place on the World Cup mound where it was such a small audience that Olsbu might hear him. She did.
– I think he was just as nervous as me! He shouted that I had to breathe and relax. That made me lowered shoulders so that they at least came under the ears, laughing Olsbu.
Self remembers Røiseland hardly what he thought or said when his partner passed on the way to the shooting. And Olsbu’re right – he was real nervous when she was shooting for the gold.
Coach Eckhoff critics : – Thanks
– I looked at, but I was reasonably away, he says to VG with a smile. When Olsbu went out on the last lap, with French Marie Dorin Habert-heels, he was even more shaky.
– I did not catch as much of the final round. This was reasonable game. I was a nervous wreck, he said.
Thrilling day
After Olsbu came the goal, he received a gold hug. The two met when they went to high school in Sirdal, and have been together for over eight years. Røiseland has been an active biathlete, and is currently coach of a privatlag in Lillehammer. During the World Cup he has been staying with the team and been much with her boyfriend.
At Olsbu should go last leg, was settled Tuesday night. In the hours leading up to the start today, got 25-year-old seriously feeling the nerves.
Mundal cried: – This is to repel
– I was really nervous! I knew I went to something I have not tried before, but I managed it. I’m very happy with, she smiles.
Røiseland can attest to Olsbu was marked this morning.
– She was a little nauseous early today. It’s probably a long time since she has been so nervous. I tried to get her on second thoughts, he said.
– Went on sheer will
Olsbu has been described as an extreme challenge gunner, and a cold fish when it matters most at the shooting range. Today she convinced that all this right – and on the last lap she showed great strength when she held opponents behind. Inside the stadium, she was greeted by a huge roar, and built on the run came smile forward.
When Olsbu slid across the finish line, she was met by three jubilant happy Norwegian girls.
VG case from last weekend: Now Marte gold candidate
– Marte got the all-time pressure on him, but then she was able to do so as well. The last round she went on sheer will, with acid up to the ears. I was the scared when she came towards the goal, that she should not cross the finish line. So I yelled at her that she had to get over the line! Then came a small tear, says Tiril Eckhoff VG.
Proud Mom
Another who cried when Marte Olsbu sailed into that world champion in relay , was mum Helga Olsbu. After biathlon girls had secured the gold, went anchor girl’s parents away at the finish line, where they met the daughter. And ensure a proper gold hug.
– It was absolutely amazing. She thought it was great fun, but she boasted only of the other girls when I talked to her. It was they who had done it, they had added a totally sick basis for her she said. Thereby exert even greater. So I stood up on the VM heap and just cried before she began, telling mom Olsbu VG.

She had a brief chat and a gold hug her daughter after the prize ceremony. Although she felt the pressure that her daughter was exposed to the expectations of gold on the last shooting.
– I think she showed very class when she did it. It was cool to see and that was not a given. Now we celebrate, says Helga Olsbu who brought nearly 100 Frol endings on VM heap.
And they were all there to celebrate the girl who today secured his first World Cup medal, with a final leg it smelled singed off. But the triumph has not quite dawned Marte Olsbu yet.
– This is absolutely incredible. L can not quite comprehend it!
