The 32-year-old Nogren is already participating in the Winter Olympics for the third time, and on the morning of the 7th Beijing time, he had a video call with his wife Caitlin, who was having a baby, and they witnessed the birth of their daughter together. On the 8th, Nogren embarked on the field of the men's 20 km individual biathlon biathlon.
"It was a very special and memorable day for my family." Nogren said, "I have been video chatting with my wife and I feel very pleasant. "In preparation for the Beijing Winter Olympics, Nogren has not returned home since mid-November last year, and has not met his wife." It's been a long road. Nogren said.
Nogren's athletic career has lasted for 15 years, and he has been fighting for his sports career. Nogren said it was his last time at the Winter Olympics and his last season in biathlon, saying: "In the last race, I want to end my career with a good result. ”
Nogren's wife, Caitlin, is also a sports enthusiast, and she was a very competitive runner during college, and she was very supportive of her husband's full involvement in the preparation for the Winter Olympics. The couple has a great interest in outdoor sports and wants to pass it on to their daughter. "We're definitely going to raise our daughter to be a very outdoor enthusiast and hopefully she'll be a skier and also in biathlon," Nogren said. ”
In the biathlon men's 20 km individual event, Nogren performed poorly, being fined seven minutes to finish in 87th place. The game was over, and it was one step closer to his return home. 'I can't wait to finish the race and come home and it's so exciting to have something so important waiting for me.' At this point, the results of the race are no longer important to Nogren.
