Olympic biathlon champion Tiril Eckhoff35, got tired of men’s behavior at the gym.
Eckhoff told the ex-ski star about it Therese Johaugin and editor Emil Gukildin on the podcast Gukild & Johaug.
– People who mansplein and they say squats wrong. That’s what I’ve heard. It’s a bit annoying, Eckhoff said in the podcast.
Manspleining means a situation where a person explains a simple matter in a condescending tone. The explainer confidently assumes that he knows more than the person he is talking to.
– I have never met a woman who would do that, Eckhoff said.

What is the reason?
Johaug and Gukild wonder what the behavior is. Gukild wondered if the men coming to explain might express some kind of concern about the biathlon Olympic champion’s technique or try to attack him.
– I don’t think that the last one at least did that, Eckhoff commented on the attempted attack.
Johaug, on the other hand, believed that the men just want to be able to tell others that they talked to Eckhoff.
However, the biathlete is nice to the commentators. He doesn’t want to cause conflict.
– I just say “okay, I’ll try it”.
Eckhoff won two Olympic golds and ten world championships in his career. The Norwegian star ended his brilliant career in 2023.
