Eckhoff ended her biathlon career in 2023, having won two Olympic gold medals and eight World Championship gold medals, according to multiple reports. In a recent interview, Eckhoff disclosed that she was in a relationship with Ånund Lid Byggland for 14 years before he ended it last year. She said the breakup occurred while she was in the final stretch of completing a bachelor's degree.
"It hurt. I didn't get angry, but I thought: 'Do you really mean we should break up now? '" Eckhoff told a wire report.
She added, "Then I cried and was really sad. " Eckhoff also described her reaction: "I wasn't particularly angry, I was extremely rational. Then I packed him out of the apartment – it's me who owns it.
Bang, bang, just get him out. I even brought in a woman to clean out the entire apartment afterwards. " Now, Eckhoff is in a relationship with Joakim Dokka Nordstad, whom she met at a wedding last summer, and they live together, according to multiple reports.
