Olympic Gold Medal Skiier Teams Up With Counter Strike Champion

What’s a good encore after winning two gold medals at the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games? [[link]] For [[link]] one of the world’s most accomplished cross-country skiers, it’s playing alongside his world champion counterpart in Counter Strike at Norway’s largest LAN party.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Petter Northug (pictured, left; you can see his translated gaming profile here) will be taking on all comers in 2-on-2 Counter Strike matches at “The Gathering,” to be held over Easter. While Petter’s golds weren’t in biathlon (that’s skiing with the pew-pew-pew) he does look to be a [[link]] serious shooter enthusiast. Further, his partner for this promotion will be Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg (pictured, right) of the clan Fnatic; Lindberg is a world champion in his e-sport. Northug was last at The Gathering in 2007 playing with Team Amentio, a clan named for one of his sponsors. Olympic Skiing Champion Takes on Counter Strike?! [FragYou via CatchGamer, thanks Miguel O.]
