Fun Facts about Olaug

Quirky facts. Inspired by her game.

At just 11 years old, Olaug combined football training, talent-school sessions, handball and matches for several different teams — her father sometimes had to order her to take a day off because she would happily have trained every day.

Olaug regularly played for an older boys’ team alongside her brother Tarje and later described the faster pace and tougher challenges as the best thing that could have happened to her development.

At 17, Olaug described herself as dutiful, humble and happy — two years later, she replaced that answer with a much more revealing description: “an extremely bad loser.”
