She has asserted herself more than satisfactorily in the physical competitions so far, and envisioned going a long way in the championship. However, the competitions “Gåten”, “Blinkskudt” and “Pyramiden” went completely differently than Sulland had imagined. Linn Jørum Sulland was an enthusiastic participant in “Gåten”, but it didn’t quite live up to the mark. Photo: Heidi Marie Goperod / news Had to give lost In “Gåten” shells, pennants and buoys were to be counted and turned into a calculation. Whoever counted incorrectly had to try again. In “Blinkskudt” the task was to hit the target with a bag of peas. Last out was the “Pyramid”, where a pyramid was just waiting out in the water. Here the challenge was to climb gradually upwards, until you stood at the top. The handball player came out worst in the three competitions in total, and thus had to sit in his second night test. There she met cross-country runner Ola Vigen Hattestad, who was second last on the list. In the first round, it was Hattestad who took the lightsaber, when Sulland missed. The next round did not go in the handball player’s favor either. Thus the adventure in the Master of Masters was over for Linn Jørum Sulland. – The same for everyone Afterwards, she admits that it still feels a little bitter. Here, after all, we are talking about an athlete who is used to being in the thick of things. Sulland, for example, became Norway’s top scorer with 51 goals in the 2011 World Cup, only beaten by Brazil’s Alexandra Nascimento overall. Linn Jørum Sulland scored for Norway against Angola in Arena Santos during the WC in Brazil in 2011. She also became top scorer with 51 goals in the tournament.

That the result of the pea bag competition in Friday’s round should be decisive was therefore a disappointing experience. – You could pick any guy at Karl Johan who has never done anything to take part in that competition. He could still have thrown the best, says the distinguished handball player. – Does it feel unfair? – No no no. You compete in different things. It was the same for everyone, she emphasizes. Get a lot of questions The students at the school are among those who have wondered what it was like to participate, and who will go on. – There are a number of students who think it has been exciting and follow along well. It might not be as fat when they know I’m out, laughs Sulland. The family has also sat down in front of the TV every Friday. – They are faithful viewers. She has fond memories of the weeks with the Mesternes mester gang. – I especially remember the dinners, the competitions and not least the time after the cameramen had gone home, she says. “The champions’ looser” After she had to leave the competition, many nice days were spent together with the other participants who were knocked out of the competition along the way. The participants Master’s master 2023.

It could, for example, be throwing a matchbox into a headwind or shooting golf balls into a bucket. All kinds of weird, laughs Sulland. – Yes, there was also time for a bit of bullying after the pea bag competition, then.
