The best competitor of the Winter Olympics probably came closest of anyone
to three consecutive golds. In no less than four events did he win two gold
medals, and in three of them he added a silver. In the relay before his home
crowd in Lillehammer, he lost the sprint against Sylvio Fauner and the gold
by 0.4 seconds. In the combined pursuit at Nagano he started with a
46 second advantage over Thomas Alsgaard, his
neighbour (they live only 200 meters apart in the same street in Nannestad).
Halfway through the race Alsgaard had caught up and they continued to the
line where Dählie lost the sprint by just one second. The next day,
Alsgaard helped Dæhlie to a record seventh gold, by taking revenge
on the Italians in the 4 x 10 km, beating them again in a sprint. Dählie
had had a great hand in this victory, by catching the Italians in the third
leg, but handing over to Alsgaard behind them. Alsgaard followed the Italian
for the whole 10 km.
The long free-style event was held over just 30 km in 1994, but then too
Dæhlie was beaten by Thomas Alsgaard.
