For the second time during this year’s season, “Team spirit” was the theme. Last time, former footballer Frode Johnsen was the theme winner, but this time it was completely different. – Never afraid to do it badly There were still no juicy remarks you got from an outmatched Johnsen. – If you meet someone who is better than you, then you have to lose with a good mood. This motto has followed him throughout his life. He calls it his greatest strength. It was exactly the same when he played football, he explains. – I was never afraid of doing badly, because I knew I could do much better in the next match. SATISFIED: Not everything went in Johnsen’s favor in program number 6. But he is still satisfied with his own effort. Here with teammate Helene Spilling.

There were too many sudden movements between Johnsen and the sports dancer. They lost the ball several times and got last place. STRUGGLE WITH THE BALL: The exercise of keeping the ball still did not go as planned for the former footballer and sports dancer.

Now they were going to press again in the dreaded “90 degrees”. Here the lactic acid rose quickly, and Johnsen was the first to go down. He managed almost four minutes to the wall. – I had no more chance, my legs shook so. I am no better than what I am. So there’s nothing to be unhappy about really, says the former national team player afterwards. The worst exercise of the day was nevertheless the last one. It still hurts Johnsen to this day. Was injured after training A fast 5,000-metre tore his hamstring. – I’ve actually been good at running, but I went all out. I was probably injured for half a year afterwards, or I still feel it. That’s how it is when you’re poorly trained! Johnsen gave it his all, but his teammate Olaf Tufte was not fast enough. With tears in his eyes, he sent Johnsen out into the night. FRIENDS: Olaf Tufte and Frode Johnsen found the tone and quickly became good friends during the recording. Photo: Heidi Marie Gøperød / Nordisk Banijay/news – He is tougher on TV than in reality. He is a real teddy bear who loves love. We became good friends, says Johnsen about his new friend Tufte. Although they do not have time to meet that often, they are in contact with each other after the recording. It’s all about luck Johnsen has followed the Master of Masters for several years. – I have been a fan of that program for a long time. It’s really fun to hear the stories and see what people have been through. READY TO MATCH: The remaining participants Kristin Holte, Andreas Lødrup, Ola Hattestad Vigen, Frode Johnsen, Olaf Tufte and Helene Spilling. Photo: Heidi Marie Gøperød / Nordisk Banijay/news Sports that you don’t see very often on TV are particularly exciting, he believes. But when it comes to the exercises and the teams, he calls it “a bit of bingo”. – Like Stig-André who immediately quits, it’s more bad luck than a bad performance. Johnsen adds that this is what makes the program a bit fun. – Not everything is set in advance, and that makes the program very exciting.
