Key Points
  • Artist twins Marcus and Martinus Gunnarsen have signed with third-division football club Strindheim.
  • The twins aim to balance their music careers with football in Trøndelag, having previously played for Mosjøen and Grane.
  • Students at Nord University have the lowest study time among Norwegian universities, attributed to an older student body that works more and studies efficiently.

The twins have played for Mosjøen since 2016, except for one year with the club Grane from Trofors in 2019, and aim to continue combining their artist life with football in Trøndelag. About a year ago, they each bought an apartment in Trondheim. The twins say they will do what they can to attend as many training sessions and matches as possible. They travel a lot for their work but always train even when traveling. The twins say the third-division club has welcomed them well. On Instagram, Strindheim describes Marcus's past in Mosjøen as goal-rich and Martinus as a creative and athletic football player. The specific terms or duration of their contract with Strindheim remain unclear, as does how their travel schedule for music will impact availability for matches and training.

In unrelated news, students at Nord University spend the least time on studies among Norway's eleven universities, according to Khrono. The average time use for full-time students has decreased by four hours. In 2025, students on average used 32.1 hours per week. Students at Nord University used on average 29.7 hours per week. Prorector for education and acting rector Levi Gårseth-Nesbakk believes there is a natural explanation for the lower study time at Nord University. Nord University has a somewhat older student body. A characteristic of this older group is that they work more alongside their studies than ordinary students. Older students often have more experience and a life situation that makes them work more efficiently with their studies than those coming directly from high school. The exact statistics or methodology behind the study time data reported by Khrono are not detailed, and it is unknown how Nord University's study time compares to previous years or what specific measures the university might take in response.
