His form could have been better before the final got underway. But the rower and farmer from Nykirke in Horten didn’t let a few cough balls stop him. He gave it his all and finally ended up with the long-awaited trophy. – We get to put it somewhere high where it can be seen! FEIRES: After the final, a real champis shower awaited Tufte and Holte. Photo: Heidi Marie Gøperød / Nordisk Banijay/news – Completely useless Tufte describes the final as fun, but also very nerve-wracking. – It was about keeping nerves and focus in check. – You were a little frustrated at the end? – The cannon was completely useless. But I tried to jump in, even though nothing was going the same. It was a bit of bingo shooting, but I hit in the end. EXCITED FOLLOWING: The former participants were Photo: Heidi Marie Gøperød / Nordisk Banijay/news A humble Kristin Holte had to settle for second place. Although it was close to her beating Tufte. Going home and practicing blink The Crossfit athlete from Hokksund describes the final as a tough last fight. – It actually feels very good, it was a tough match. But in the end, Olaf was superior, and it is a well-deserved victory for him. – How does the body feel now? – My body feels really good, I just have to go home and practice a bit on hitting the mark, she laughs. Holte describes his opponent Olaf Tufte as “completely raw”, and someone who never ceases to impress. – The big man is completely raw at balance obstacles, below and above. There’s nothing he can’t do. I just have to bow in the dust and say that this is well deserved! “Megafornýd” with third place The final itself was divided into two. After the first part, kickboxer Andreas Lødrup got third place. – I am very proud to have come this far, it was something I dreamed of! He adds that he had an extra little pressure of expectation on him. The children were a little afraid that dad would rush out first. PERSISTED: It was a tough few minutes here before the finalists could sprint across the finish line. Lødrup came in as number three. Photo: Heidi Marie Gøperød / Nordisk Banijay/news – So I’m really happy to be in all the episodes. I’ve stuck with it and had somewhat mixed results throughout the program. Lødrup managed to participate in two night tests. He himself feels that he has both over- and under-performed in some exercises. – At best, it was the “counter” that I got the record for. And on the painful “sled”, where I got a terrible bang, the hammer in the head and lactic acid and was completely empty, says Lødrup. SMELLER: Here it was just before Lødrup’s arms failed in the “Big Blue Balloon” competition. Photo: Heidi Marie Gøperød / Nordisk Banijay/news He adds that it took almost an hour before he could see clearly again afterwards. Because he was so tired. And then came the balance exercise. – I was like an 80-year-old man who was terrified of falling, so I crawled through. It was a bit embarrassing, I think, says Lødrup. – Maybe I’ll survive The winner Olaf Tufte is happy to be done with the competition. – Very nice and liberating to actually be finished, was his first comment after the final. When asked how Tufte thinks the family will react when they learn that father has won, he answers bluntly: – Maybe they forget a mental arithmetic fad that I had earlier in the program here. So maybe I’ll survive! HOMEWORK TUFTE: This exercise in program four will haunt Tufte forever. He miscalculated several times, and is unable to forgive himself.
