Quite Possibly The Greatest Quote Ever From An Olympian

Reading this quote from Norwegian Odd-Bjorn Hjelmeset, who won silver in the men’s 4 x 10km cross-country relay, makes me think that the Norwegian athletes just enjoy messing with the media (ain’t that right, Sven Kramer).

I mean really, how else can you explain this absolutely bizarre and cryptic quote from a man called Odd…

My name is Odd-Bjoern Hjelmeset. I skied the second lap and I fucked up today. I think I have seen too much porn in the last 14 days. I have the room next to Petter Northhug and every day there is noise in there. So I think that is the reason I fucked up. By the way, Tiger Woods is a really good man.

I’m sure I could follow-up that quote with some mindless, semi-humorous blather, but really, what would be the point?

    The watching porn-remark is funny beacause Odd-Bjørn at the time had been competing in Classic Cross-Country. The arm movement in this sort of skiing is pretty similar to another sort of arm movement in which internet porn is often a part of.
