Stian Grimseth (born 24 July 1972) is a Norwegian former weightlifter from Naustdal. He won the gold medal in snatch at the European Championships in 1996 and 1997, and the bronze medal in total at the latter.[1] Grimseth won twelve consecutive gold medals at the Norwegian Championship from 1993 to 2004, and two additional national gold medals in 2007 and 2008.[2] He is a two-time Olympian and competed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in the +108 kg event and the 2004 Athens Olympics in the +105 kg event.[1] Grimseth retired in 2008.[1] He was elected President of the Norwegian Weightlifting Federation in 2019.[3]
In September 2000, Grimseth tested positive for the banned substance nandrolone and missed the 2000 Sydney Olympics.[4] He later served a six month national and 15 month international suspension.[5] Analyses showed that the substance came from the supplement Ribose and Grimseth filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer Universal Nutrition in 2002 that was settled four years later.[6][1]
Grimseth is an active member of the Conservative Party.[7]
