2021
Following his brother, he took up biathlon in 2010, when his family moved to Geilo, Norway.
"I've tried almost every sport: soccer, cycling, running, skiing. I was a pretty good cyclist, especially on the mountain bike. My mother and father were both skiers. I started doing this when I was a year and a half. I didn't try biathlon until I was 12. I remember my first race because I came second in a biathlon festival with over 1000 participants. That was huge because I had only started biathlon less than a year ago." (biathlonworld.com, 6 Aug 2021)
