Mauritz Kåshagen

Biography Kåshagen was raised in Ringsaker Municipality and began competing at the national level in 2008, when he got silver medals at the indoor and outdoor Norwegian Athletics Championships in the 400 metres. That same year he competed in the World Junior Championships 400 m, where he advanced to the semifinals but did not make the final.

At the 2015 Summer Universiade, Kåshagen competed in both the individual 400 m and the relay. In the individual event, he advanced past the first round on time but did not make the finals, registering the slowest overall time in the semis. Kåshagen was nonetheless invited to competed on the 4 × 400 m relay, where his team finished last place in the heats despite being led off by Karsten Warholm.

In 2017, Kåshagen finally had an opportunity to compete individually at the European Championships indoors. However, he was disqualified for a false start in his heat, preventing him from registering a time. Kåshagen competed in the 2017 Diamond League season, finishing 8th in the Oslo Diamond League. In 2018, Kåshagen cited Henrik Ingebrigtsen and Filip Ingebrigtsen as his role models.
