No kissing and sex until the beginning of March! That's why this ski star is keeping his girlfriend at a distance
Oslo (Norway) - He cheered on Sunday, holding up the trophy for the victory. Johannes Høsflot Klæbo (28) won the Tour de Ski for the fourth time in total. His girlfriend Pernille Døsvik would have loved to give him a winner's kiss, but it didn't happen.
Instead of happy declarations of love, the Norwegian had to keep her distance from her boyfriend; while the two were sitting in a gondola, they even wore FFP2 masks.
The five-time Winter Olympics gold medal winner explained after his triumph: "I have to make sure that I keep a good distance. That's the most important thing. It's the same when they celebrate New Year's Eve in Madrid with a big party. Then we have to keep our distance."
Tough measures for the fact that his girlfriend spent New Year's Eve in the Spanish metropolis. In general, the Norwegian team imposed strict hygiene measures during the tour after numerous athletes contracted infections. Klæbo simply wants to make sure that he doesn't catch any illness before the sporting highlight of the year.
At the award ceremony, they were not even allowed to shake hands, and hugs were also forbidden by the team doctor. When the women's winner, Astrid Øyre Slind (36), briefly forgot this during an award ceremony, the doctor gave her a good telling off.
Pernille Døsvik will only be allowed to get closer to her boyfriend Johannes Høsflot Klæbo again after the World Cup in February
Johannes Høsflot Klæbo wants to keep his sweetheart even further away, and sex is not an issue for the two of them until the World Championships, which start on February 26 in Trondheim and last until the beginning of March.
"Yes, not now. She'll have to wait," said the dominator when asked by"Dagbladet" when Pernille would be allowed to exchange caresses with her boyfriend again.
She takes it sportingly, after all, she has been in a relationship with Klæbo for almost eight years. "We had a long and lovely Christmas vacation together, which was a bit of a consolation, I would say," she explained.
She had the choice of going into "quarantine" or leading a normal life during the important months, but foregoing intimacy with him.
She opted for the latter. But the time after the World Cup should be all the more exciting.
