General Interest

General

FIRST WORLD CUP TITLE
At age 60 he won his first World Cup title at the 2020 event in Gothenburg, Sweden. "As I got older I thought it would never happen. Age is something you have in your head. Even though I am aching a bit more, I don't really think about it. Many people say, 'You should let the young ones come through,' but they are welcome to come up. I don't feel intimidated, I think it is good that we have them to keep us hungry." (indianexpress.com, 25 Feb 2020)

COOPERATION WITH BIATHLETE
He has had a business partnership with Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjorndalen. Gulliksen has advised Bjorndalen on which horses to buy and ridden some of them in events. He competed on one of Bjorndalen's horses, Banjan, at the 2015 World Cup Finals in Las Vegas, NV, United States of America. (kingslandequestrian.com, 01 Jan 2016; dt.no, 15 Apr 2015, 18 Nov 2009)
