Reached the medal target For 19 days, several thousand athletes have fought blood, sweat and tears for Olympic medals in Paris. Norway itself traveled to the Games with the goal of a medal haul of eight medals, which the Norwegian athletes just managed. The first Norwegian gold medal came on 3 August, when Markus Rooth shocked an entire nation by becoming Olympic decathlon champion. Later, sailor Line Flem Høst and athlete Karsten Warholm followed with bronze and silver respectively on 7 and 9 August. On Saturday, it almost rained medals on the Norwegian Olympic athletes. Grace Bullen with bronze in wrestling, Christian Sørum and Anders Mol with bronze in beach volleyball, the handball girls with gold, Jakob Ingebrigtsen with gold in the 5000 meters and Solfrid Koanda with gold in weightlifting. The latter has also been given the honor of carrying the Norwegian flag during Sunday’s closing ceremony. – We were clear that we believed that eight medals was an offensive and demanding objective. It was somehow not well understood by the public that it was a demanding objective. It was very well understood halfway through the games that it was a demanding goal. so then the mood turned a bit around the talk of medals, says top sports manager Tore Øvrebø to news. – We knew we were strongest in the last week of the Olympics. We usually are. But we had a fantastic day yesterday which meant we reached our medal target, he adds. See all the medal moments in the photo series below.
