Daria Domracheva and Ole Einar Bjoerndalen got married. Who got married? Who was born? Where will they live

Great couple.

It seems that the first joint photo of Domracheva and Bjoerndalen: the closure of the 2014 Olympics, the flag carriers of Belarus and Norway suddenly appear next to each other.

March 2015, a fan accidentally spots a couple in a Finnish shopping center.

April 2015, Race of Champions in Tyumen. Rumors about the relationship of the Olympic champions are growing louder - and Domracheva only confirms them, taking Bjoerndalen as a partner in the mixed. Is it possible to say from these emotions that they took only fourth place?

In April 2016, the relationship between Bjoerndalen and Domracheva was officially confirmed for the first time. Yes, how: the Norwegian announced that the couple is expecting a baby! And on July 17, the same photos appeared on the social networks of both athletes. Wedding. As it turned out later, the ceremony took place on July 7 in the Norwegian Shushen.

In the fall, Domracheva became a mother. A cute family photo shortly after giving birth.

February 12, 2017. Daria, who took 27th place in the sprint, surprises everyone in the pursuit and takes "silver". A few hours later, Ole Einar in a similar discipline rises from eighth place to third. The family piggy bank was replenished with two medals.

Almost all summer, the couple prepared together for the new season. After a good workout, you can fool around :)

In autumn and winter, Domracheva and Bjoerndalen did not have joint photos. Perhaps the great biathlete was not in the mood. Now that he can go to the Olympics as part of the Belarusian delegation, the situation may change.

In Pyeongchang, the legendary Norwegian helped Belarusian athletes test skis and supported his star wife. After the mass start, in which the Belarusian won silver, he could not restrain his emotions and tenderly congratulated his wife on her success.

After the victory of the women's relay, it was also not without congratulations.

We are waiting for new shots from a wonderful couple!

The same post was published by Domracheva, who is now likely to bear the surname Bjoerndalen. Although official information on this matter has not yet been reported. Perhaps Daria will continue to perform under the same surname or under a double.

About where the wedding took place is still unknown. The couple did not strive for publicity in this matter, preferring a quiet ceremony in the circle of relatives and friends.

Daria is now really not up to stormy celebrations, because in October she should have a baby. This became known in April. The biathletes held a special press conference at which they announced that Domracheva was pregnant.

“I have always had a good relationship with Daria, and in recent years they have become closer,” said the eight-time Olympic champion and 20-time world champion. - As a result, we came to the conclusion that we will soon become parents. We are looking forward to this event. Everything was well planned. In general, being a father is extremely interesting. I have a large and family home where the children will feel comfortable. I am very happy about this period in my life.

How to combine parenting with performances? We are not the first to find ourselves in a similar situation, others have succeeded - we will succeed as well.

Can Daria and I become a biathlon team? We can work together and train, but we will not become a separate team. "

The good news did not become a sensation, because Ole Einar and Daria, according to rumors, met for several years, although they did not advertise their relationship. Both kept the topic of personal life under a strict taboo. Nevertheless, the joint photos of the couple left no doubt that they were united by more than one sport.

It is already known that after the wedding the couple will live in Minsk. Domracheva has been building a house in the capital for a long time, and the project will soon be completed.

“Construction is going great. Daria has been building this house for many years. This large project will be completed next year. It will be great to spend a lot of time in Minsk. This is a beautiful city, we feel good there, - quotes the words of the biathlete Her og nå. -

It is absolutely certain that our child will speak two or even three languages. You need to know several languages, this is useful. I don't speak so much Russian, I just understand a little. I think I will teach him with the child. "

At the same time, the happy newlyweds do not yet know what name they will choose for their first-born, agreeing only on the fact that it should be "good and harmonious." It is not clear what kind of citizenship the child will receive, but it is possible that he will have two passports at once - Belarusian and Norwegian.

As for Domracheva's sports career, it will not end with the birth of her first child. Daria announced her readiness to return to training immediately after giving birth.

Moreover, the Belarusian woman does not pause in her studies even during pregnancy. Now she works with a French coach who helped keep fit another young mother of world biathlon Marie Dorin Habert.

42-year-old Bjoerndalen himself is not only not going to end his career, but also intends to perform at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, which may become his seventh!

Note that Domracheva and Bjoerndalen are far from the first married couple in biathlon.

So, the four-time winner of the World Cup, Frenchman Rafael Poiret in 2000, married the Norwegian biathlete Liv-Grete Shelbreit. The couple subsequently had three daughters.

Unfortunately, in 2013, the couple announced a divorce.

And Bjoerndalen himself was married to his Italian colleague Natalie Santer from 2006 to 2012. They never had children.

Other news, materials and statistics can be viewed on biathlon, as well as in groups of the sports department on social networks

Bjoerndalen and Domracheva, who had been hiding their relationship for so long, had a daughter on October 1. Perhaps nothing more important in biathlon will definitely happen this season.

Start

Bjoerndalen and Domracheva, even after ceasing to keep a shared secret, still did not talk about the circumstances of the rapprochement, or even about approximate dates. Usually, it is pleasant for couples to remember both.

The only specific date is October 4, 2012: the Norwegian announced a divorce from former Italian biathlete Natalie Santer. They got married in 2006, having lived together for another eight years. Bjoerndalen and Santer had no children.

The gap is most conveniently explained by the sports fanaticism of the Norwegian - as if biathlon ousted everything else from his life. But in his attitude to training, Bjoerndalen has not changed for decades - and this devotion did not prevent him and Santer from being together for many years.

One of the popular versions implies a close acquaintance between Bjoerndalen and Domracheva in the summer of 2012 at the training camp in Obertilliach (Austria).

Peekaboo

If in the next year and a half the relationship between the Norwegian and the Belarusian somehow developed, then the couple hid them well. During all this time, Domracheva only once - through her own website - lazily brushed aside repetitive questions:

“The only official information about my personal life will be the message about my marriage. Whoever. All the rest are rumors, which I see no reason to comment on. "

What they said about Domracheva and Bjoerndalen

The best biathlete in the world, Martin Fourcade, split faster than others:

"I am on good terms with Domracheva, but, of course, not as close as Bjoerndalen."

The main showman and rock and roll player of biathlon - Bjorn Ferry - lagged behind the Frenchman for a whole year. In stuffed with powerful bikes, drenched in alcohol and smelling of smoke, the Swede easily passed everyone:

“Dad was right that time in Russian Tyumen two years ago when he thought they were a couple. They are a couple now. Not that they advertise the relationship. But it is noticeable. "

Anton Shipulin waited for an official message from the couple and told how other people's secrets are protected in biathlon:

“We've known about their relationship for over a year. Daria and Ole Einar tried not to advertise them, so few people talked about it. "

Wedding

In April 2016, Bjoerndalen announced at a special press conference that he and Domracheva would become parents. In fact, this was generally the first official confirmation of their relationship.

The wedding was played in mid-July - completely non-public, without even advertising the place. Bjoerndalen posted a photo on Facebook with the caption "What a wonderful day" - in three languages: English, Norwegian and Russian. The author of the picture is the famous Norwegian photographer Morten Krogvold.

Where will they live?

Domracheva has been building a house for several years - according to the idea, the building should resemble an ocean liner. Work in the village of Laporovichi (on the northern shore of the Zaslavskoye reservoir - it is also the Minsk Sea) will be completed next year.

These are elite places, a plot next to the water costs several hundred thousand dollars. Back in 2011, Domracheva was allocated 20 acres here - for bronze at the Games in Vancouver.

In the district, the houses of football player Alexander Gleb, football coach Viktor Goncharenko, former coach of Domracheva in the national team Andrian Tsybulsky and another biathlete who brought a medal from Vancouver, Sergei Novikov, have grown up. By the way, then Novikov and Bjoerndalen showed the same time in the individual race and got silver.

After the Games in Sochi, where Domracheva won three gold medals, she was given another 80 acres for rent for 99 years, adjacent to the first plot. Locals say the Norwegian regularly travels to the construction site to monitor the progress of work. The builders themselves claim that even Domracheva rarely looks here, and Bjoerndalen never happened.

And last summer, and at the beginning of this autumn, the Norwegian got out for the planned training camp in Raubichi, and in general he likes Belarus:

“I can eat almost everything from Belarusian cuisine. I also love Belarusian milk. What I also like about Minsk is its cleanliness. It doesn't fit in my head how it is possible. According to this indicator, he is in second place among all the cities where I have been. Only Monaco is cleaner. "

It is unlikely that the "liner" on the shores of the Minsk Sea will become the couple's only home. Since 2002 Bjoerndalen has been living in Obertilliach. A couple of weeks after the wedding, Domracheva also filled out the registration form for this place.

Child

On October 1, Bjoerndalen and Domracheva had a daughter. No name has been chosen yet. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko congratulated the spouses on the event. Bjoerndalen was present at the birth, being next to his wife for two days.

“For the first time in Bjoerndalen's life, biathlon will not come first. It seems to me that it is good for him ",- another Norwegian superbiathlete Emil Svensen said what almost everyone thinks.

Bjoerndalen promised to improve his command of Russian - he is going to learn the language with his daughter.

Bjoerndalen and attitude towards children

In 2007, the Norwegian was asked about children - the answer turned out to be tough:

“Young children are often sick, and I cannot afford it. Two professional athletes with children are not the best option. "

Last April, a clarification followed:

“I don’t remember these words specifically. It seems to me that, on the whole, this topic is another story that they write about me and which has nothing to do with reality. I have never said that I do not want and do not like children. The infection can be picked up anywhere, the more people around, the more likely it is. But this is not a reason not to communicate with anyone, is it? You just need to take certain precautions, for example, wash your hands before eating. "

What about biathlon?

Bjoerndalen, 42, is already catching up with missed training sessions. He has at least a couple of seasons ahead of him.

Domracheva missed last season entirely - mononucleosis is to blame. A return to the track is planned, but so far without exact dates. There is even an option with the second half of the next season. A personal trainer works with the Belarusian, plus her husband tells her something. So far, there is no reason to think that Domracheva's career is over.

Photo for memory

Bjoerndalen and Domracheva do not have many public joint pictures.

The closing of the 2014 Olympics is nothing special, Bjoerndalen has a lot of similar photos with anyone.

Shooting for the calendar of the International Biathlon Union. Kaisa Mäkärinen, apparently, to divert the eyes.
