Ku dhammee weedhan soo socota: Pettersen waxaa loo doortay in uu ka mid noqdo xulka Norway ciyaaraha Olombikada ee 2010 ee lagu qabtay magaalada Vancouver, Canada. Tartankiisii ugu horeeyay ee Olombikada,
tartanka orodka shaqsiga, wuxuu galay kaalinta lixaad, mid ka mid ah seddexda Noorwiiji ee u soo gudbay wareegga ugu dambeeya ee tartanka. Kadib wuxuu ku guuleystay billad dahab ah oo uu la yeeshay saaxiibkiis Petter Northug tartankii orodka ee kooxda oo ay ku dhammaystireen kooxo ka kala yimid Jarmalka iyo Ruushka. Asal ahaan, Pettersen ma uusan dooneynin inuu tartamo dhacdada, laakiin daqiiqadii ugu dambeysay ee uu ka laabtay horyaalkii adduunka Ola Vigen Hattestad cudur dartiis ayaa ka tagay boos furan, waxaana loo doortay Pettersen inuu buuxiyo. Dhowr kooxood ayaa ku tartamayay ka dib waxqabadkii Pettersen intii lagu jiray lugtii ugu horreysay ee tartanka, mana ahayn ilaa buurta ugu dambeysay in Northug uu dhaafay kuwa ka soo horjeeda oo uu hoggaaminayay isagoo galaya garoonka uu tartanku ku dhammaaday.
