Ole-Kristian Bryhn threw himself sporty into the competition, when Emil Meek had to withdraw just before recording. But it was not a dream start for the master marksman in the Master of Masters. In the evening’s second competition, he suffers a stretch: – I know that I am reasonably frustrated and a little pissed off. That day here couldn’t have gotten any worse, sums up Bryhn. Barefoot snowboarding legend Season number fifteen in a row started anything but smoothly on Friday night. Already from the first minute, both pulse and nerves rise. The versatility will be tested in a completely new competition. – Nice to get started and feel the nerves a bit, says biathlete Tiril Eckhoff. See a selection of pictures from the evening’s exercises below: Skier Anders Aukland showed his strength and went all the way to the top in the first exercise of the year. In the “Champions League”, the participants had to balance, drag a sled with sandbags across the sand and run the sandbags to the finish line. In the classic “Flaggkampen”, the youngest participant of the season, Camilla Gjersem, took the victory among the women. Ole Kristian Bryhn was unlucky and suffered a groin strain in the battle for the best flags. Snowboarder Terje Håkonsen ran barefoot to a clear victory among the men. He secured the singles flag in elegant fashion. His snowboarding colleague Stian Sivertzen is jubilant after securing second place and important points in the evening’s final exercise “Full hits”. Here it was all about getting all the balls into the baskets as quickly as possible. Marit Malm Frafjord had a great need to do well. The former handball player secured victory and much-needed points. – You don’t play with shoes on the beach, said a satisfied Terje Håkonsen after finishing in the “Flagkampen”. He was the only one to throw away his shoes before practice, and ran barefoot to a clear victory. The snowboarding legend continues to impress throughout the evening. He currently sits at the very top of the points ladder. Figure skater Camilla Gjersem and snowboarder Terje Håkonsen both delivered strongly in the season opener of the Master of Masters. Gjersem is currently in third place overall, while Håkonsen takes the top spot ahead of skier Anders Aukland.

Did you catch the Master of Masters on New Year’s Day? Yes No I’ll watch it later Show result Will fight underwater Because there are still three exercises left, before someone has to leave the Champion of Champions. The two remaining with the lowest scores next Friday automatically end up in the night test. This means that the person with the lowest score is no longer allowed to choose their opponent. Perhaps the two who will be dueling can take solace in the fact that they will be the first ever to compete with this view in the Master of Masters: This year the night tests take place below the surface, in the premises of the underwater restaurant “Under” in Lindesnes.
