Personal life

Sports career

Nykkelmo watched the 1974 Norwegian Championships, which were held in Selbu, which influenced her to train in competitive skiing.[2] She joined the junior national team in 1978. She became good friends with other athletes on the team and credited the friendly environment as a factor in the success of Norwegian cross-country skiers.[3]

She won four medals at the 1985 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Seefeld with a gold in the 20 km, a silver in the 4 × 5 km relay, and bronzes in the 5 km and 10 km. At the 1991 Biathlon World Championships in Lahti, she won a gold medal in the 7.5 km sprint and silvers in the 15 km individual and the 3 × 7.5 km relay.[1]

In 1980, she became Norwegian champion in 10 km cross-country running, representing Selbu IL. On the same distance she won one silver medal (1981) and three bronze medals (1979, 1982, 1985).[4]

Nykkelmo won the Egebergs Ærespris in 1990 for her achievements.[1]

At the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, she competed in the women's 7.5 km sprint, where she finished 31st, and the women's 15 km individual, where she finished 18th.[5]

After she finished her competitive career, Nykkelmo became a board member of the Norwegian Sports Confederation from 1999 to 2003.[1]
