Talk:Petter Northug

Personality
The NBC commentators keep going on about how he's given to making brash statements, once kept the king waiting, etc... AnonMoos (talk) 22:03, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Rivalry
I do not like the chapter Rivalry, hinting that Northug and Marcus Hellner are personal enemies. It has been denied by them, and Northug has had more upset arguments with other skiers than Hellner. The text was written by 78.88.2.77 on 18 Dec 2010. Such tabliod style text should not be in Wikipedia articles. --BIL (talk) 22:39, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Nickname
"Due to his frequent disrespect to fellow competitors Northug erned nickname 'Storkjeften fra Mosvik'" The nickname Storkjeften fra Mosvik is not a nickname that is used. Google it in Norwegian and you'll get 2-3 hits. --212.251.176.100 (talk) 08:29, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Google find 21 hits, of them 7 in Norwegian, and 14 in English. Some in major media. Probably not enough to have such a statement in Wikipedia. Northug has many enemies, noticeable on English, Swedish and more Wikipedias, which creates such statments. --BIL (talk) 16:55, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I'll just leave this right here
http://www.slate.com/blogs/five_ring_circus/2014/02/20/olympics_jerk_watch_petter_northug_jr_the_richard_sherman_of_cross_country.html This article seems to be missing quite a bit about his brash persona. Gamaliel ( talk ) 23:47, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Courtcase and conviction in 2020
His lawyer suggested the use of Ankle monitor. The prosecution suggested 8 months in prison. The wiki-article does not need any of that information, in my opinion. 89.8.101.132 (talk) 14:58, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
