Olympics: Who Are Magnus Vågberg Parents & Family?
Though Magnus Vågberg got into the Olympics because of his hard work, the genes of his family, especially his parents cannot be ignored. He was born to one of the most successful players.
Trine Trulsen Vgberg, his mother is a curler from Norway.
She is the twin sister of Pl Trulsen, the 2002 Winter Olympics’ Olympic curling champion, and is married to her brother’s teammate Lars Vgberg from the same Olympics.

With Hasselborg, he finished seventh at the World Curling Championships in 1992 and won a bronze medal at the European Championships in 1994.
Lars had relocated to Norway by 1997. The 1997 World Championships would be Vgberg’s debut as a Norwegian, and he would play third for Pl Trulsen.

Their most notable triumph, however, came at the 2002 Winter Olympics, when they defeated Canada’s Kevin Martin in the gold medal final.
In 2005, the team enhanced their success by winning their first gold medal in the European Championships.
