Petter Northug

Norwegians are said to be born with skis on their feet. During his sports career, Petter Nortug managed to win victories in all six men's ski disciplines and become the king of skis twice.

The skier was born in early 1984 in the village of Framverran in the commune of Muskvik, located in the center of Norway. The surname of an athlete, who dreamed of becoming a football player in childhood, is sometimes written in Russian as Nurtug.

The ski king is the firstborn of the couple Yona and Mai, who gave birth to two more sons, Thomas and Even. Both Petter brothers also linked biographies to skiing.

In 2012, Norwegian filmmakers filmed the documentary "Northug Circus" about the Olympic champion's family and childhood. In the summer of 2019, the parents of the Norwegian sports star divorced after 37 years of marriage, which they began when May was 15 years old.

In his personal life, the skier, whose height is 185 cm, and the weight is 88 kg, has repeatedly violated the legal and ethical norms of Norwegian society. Petter is fond of poker, which is illegal as a gambling in Norway, and advertised Red Bull, which is also banned in the Viking country. The man had an affair with the singer and model Aylar Lee, who began her career as a porn actress.

In May 2014, the athlete got behind the wheel of his Audi drunk, exceeded the speed limit (40 km / h) and caused an accident in which his passenger was injured. Moreover, Nortug fled from the scene, and being caught gave false testimony. The ski king was sentenced to 50 days in prison, a $ 29,000 fine and life imprisonment. Audi stopped sponsoring Petter.

In addition to Lee, athlete Rachel Nordtomme and two girls named Caroline, pop singer Dahl and junior ski colleague Vollan managed to visit Northug's friends. Photos of Petter with skier Emil Iversen regularly appear on the Internet. When Nortug announced his retirement, Iversen posted a playful snapshot of them sleeping naked under a shared blanket. In response, the 13-time world champion said that he had some good tight nights with Emil and looked forward to continuing.

Before victories at world championships, Petter has repeatedly led the Scandinavian competitions. So, in the 2005/2006 season at the races, the athlete came first four times and twice second.

As a junior, Petter brought back six gold medals from the World Championships. In his youth, the trademark traits of the skier were formed - powerful acceleration at the finish line and extravagant behavior after victory. Making sure that the rivals are far behind, Nortug could cross the finish line, moving with his back, or, in joy, perform twerk on skis.

In the Norwegian national team, Petter made his debut in the 2006/2007 season. In 2007, Nortug won the first gold in the World Championship. The athlete brought four medals from the Vancouver Olympic Games in 2010. In the same year, the Norwegian was declared the overall winner of the World Cup.

The man was able to repeat the achievement in 2013. In the summer of 2013, Petter fell ill with a serious viral illness and looked pale at the Sochi Olympics. Failure in Russia turned into depression for Northug, which he drowned in alcohol.

After the accident and trial, Petter repented before his compatriots and promised to achieve new successes in skiing. The man kept his word, winning four gold medals at the 2015 World Championships in the Swedish city of Falun.

In 2016, after the race of champions in Tyumen, Nortug spoke about his intention to obtain a Russian passport and to compete for Russia in international competitions. At the Ugra marathon, Petter, congratulating Sergei Ustyugov on his birthday, confirmed his decision to fight on the track under the Russian tricolor. However, in December 2018, he announced the end of his sports career.

Now Nortug is engaged in the creation and promotion of his brand of sportswear. On the page on Instagram, the athlete uploads pictures and videos advertising sports glasses and gloves.

In 2019, Nortug tried himself as a skiing commentator and dodgeball player. On January 26, 2020, Petter competed in the Ski Classics marathon.
