Per Egil Refsnes 1954 - 2009
Friday afternoon I got the sad message that Pella died during his cycling session. He was hit by a car. Pella was Olympiatoppens strenght coach and the most trusted and respected person in his field in Norway. Pella was my personal strenght coach from fall 2003 and the biggest reason why I managed to get stronger and faster to the 2004 season and win an Olympic gold. Pella was so much more than an excellent coach. His positive energy and happy mood affected me and all other athletes he worked with. No matter how tired you were from earlier sessions or just in a bad mood from having a bad day; after training with Pella and listning to one of his many funny stories, the day was always good. I’m going to miss Pella a lot, he was a very good man and friend. My thoughts goes to his wife and three sons.
