– It’s absolutely incredible that I was able to get it done right there on the spot. It is an absolutely indescribably good feeling. On a beach in Lindesnes, Ole-Kristian Bryhn holds the gold trophy in his hand. The 34-year-old from Røyken has just gone all the way to the top in the Master of Masters. It was all decided in a final sprint so nerve-wracking that news’s commentators shouted in excitement. Feel free to write a congratulations to the winner at the bottom of the case 🥳 Three became two The battle for the title was between Bryhn, skier Anders Aukland and footballer Pål André Helland on Friday evening. First, three were to become two in a decisive chase start. It consisted of iron grips…And the infamous ninety degrees. Helland realized that he was running thin when he saw what exercises the start of the hunt offered. The footballer also struggled with a sore shoulder, which became a problem when he had to hang in an iron grip. – I could have thought of giving them a real fight, but it was almost over before it started, says the 34-year-old to news. Helland says the Master of Masters has been a great experience. Here he gets a good hug from Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen after the start of the hunt.

It was all to be decided in pouring rain on Lordens beach in Mandal. A demanding and varied obstacle course awaited the finalists Bryhn and Aukland. Among other things, they had to balance, pull a sled, throw a ball, think logically and, not least, get a glimpse of the “wall” exercise. See a selection of pictures from the final: The finalists had to jump high. They had a reunion with the wall exercise, which frustrated many participants earlier in the season. They also had the pleasure of experiencing sled digging in the sand again. Accuracy was put to the test. Here, Aukland lost part of the lead he had built up. The finalists also had to have balance and agility. Plank walking and puzzles were also on the poster in Friday’s final. Photo: Alice Asplund / Nordisk Banijay/news Almost over the finish line. And it wasn’t until the last seconds that it was all decided. But it was in the last spurt of the final that it became seriously exciting. Anders Aukland had gained a head start when he tackled the last task. All that remained was to carry a heavy ball over one last small obstacle before he could run across the finish line and collect the victory. – Then I thought the race was over, says Bryhn. But at the last obstacle, it stops completely for the skier. As he struggles with the ball, Bryhn tails in. Finally, he succeeds in getting the ball over the hurdle. But then Bryhn is on his heels. The finish line is only meters ahead of him now. But then Aukland trips and falls. – What a final sprint! For a comeback, the commentator duo Jann Post and Johan Remen Evensen roar when Bryhn passes the competitor. Anders Aukland is beaten on the finish line. – I thought I had it at the end there. But I couldn’t get enough speed and get the ball over the ramp. Then I used a couple of attempts and suddenly Ole came at full speed, says the skier to news. He adds that it was a completely rough final. – It was smooth and close all the way. Anders Aukland was beaten at the finish line. He says the Master of Masters has been incredibly fun to be part of. Photo: Alice Asplund / Nordisk Banijay/news “Reserven” stole the show Program host Aksel Lund Svindal is also excited. – This final went completely wild. It was like a suspense novel all the way through, says Svindal to news. – Although I have sympathy for Anders, there is a very worthy winner left in the end. Ole has done a great job, he adds. Aksel Lund Svindal says Bryhn has impressed throughout the Master of Masters. For the presenter, the final was a highlight.

You have to take the chance when it presents itself, Bryhn told news before the recording. He doesn’t regret it now. – It has been a great group to be with, and incredible fun to compete with so many good athletes. And the fact that I am once again the winner is extremely cool. Hello!
