Pl TrulsenPl Trulsen (born April 19, 1962) is a Norwegian curler from Oslo, and is the defending Olympic curling men's champion. Trulsen participated in both the 1980 and 1981 World Junior Championships, finishing both tournaments with disappointing 2-7 and 4-5 records respectively. However, after participating in the 1981 and 1982 European championships, he was back at the juniors in 1983 where he won the silver medal, losing to Canada's John Base in the final. It would take Trulsen 9 more years to get on the world stage, at the 1992 Winter Olympics, where curling was a demonstration sport. At this event he won a silver medal, losing to Switzerland's Urs Dick in the final. After four disappointing World Championship tournaments in 1993, 1997, 1999 and 2000, Trulsen won the bronze at the 2001 Ford World Curling Championship. A year later, Trulsen became world famous as he won the gold medal at the olympics defeating Canada's Kevin Martin in the final. After reaching the top, Trulsen would later decline, winning silver at the 2002 Ford World Curling Championship, bronze at the 2003 Ford World Curling Championship and a disappointing fourth place finish at the 2004 Ford World Curling Championship. His team mates (as of 2005) include: Trulsen, Pal
