Torger Nergård

Torger Nergård, also spelled Nergaard (born 12 December 1974) is a Norwegian curler from Oslo. He is a two-time Olympic medalist, winning a silver medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics as the third of the team skipped by Thomas Ulsrud and a gold medal at 2002 Winter Olympics as the alternate of the Norwegian team.

Career Nergård has curled professionally since 1987 and is the former third for Team Thomas Ulsrud.

Nergård competed as skip during the 2010 World Curling Championship in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, when Thomas Ulsrud had to return home for family reasons. Team Nergård won the silver medal having played some memorable matches, including a 9–8 win against Canada's Team Kevin Koe in the final round-robin game, which placed Norway first in the rankings (10–1), and a 9–7 win against Scotland's Team Warwick Smith in the semi-final. On the strength of Norway's national team during the tournament, Nergård commented that "it wasn't easy coming into the championship without Tom [Ulsrud], but I think we have shown that we can play well. We are a small nation, and there are not many curlers compared to the choice in Canada."

Following 2010, the team would not medal again at the World Championships, but they did win back-to-back golds at the European Curling Championships in 2010 and 2011 and won silver in 2012.

Personal life Nergård is married to fellow curler Marianne Rørvik and has two children. He is employed as an engineer with Goodtech Projects and Services.
