A heptathlon consists of the 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, and 200m sprint, followed by the long jump, javelin throw, and 800m run.
Braut lived in the UK with her ex-husband Alfie and three children when Alfie was a footballer in the Premier League, but the family moved back to Norway after he retired.

His dad, Alf-Inge Haaland, also known as Alfie, was once a professional footballer.

Alfie, born on November 23, 1972, played as a right back and midfielder throughout his career, which came to an end in 2003 when he retired.
Throughout his time as a footballer, Alfie had an ongoing rivalry with Manchester United legend Roy Keane.
Things came to a head between the pair in 2001 when Keane infamously carried out a nasty tackle on Alfie, landing him a £5,000 fine and three-match suspension.
Who are Erling Haaland’s siblings?
Erling has an older brother, finance student Astor Haaland, and older sister, Instagram personality Gabrielle Braut Haaland.
Gabrielle married Norwegian football player Jan Gunnar Eide in 2020 and the pair welcomed their first child the following year.

The trio’s father, Alfie, also has two daughters with his second wife, Anita Strømsvol.

Haaland’s salary is £375,000 a week, though he has a series of bonuses built into his contract which see him take home a staggering £865,000 per week.

The star player has been dating Isabel Haugseng Johansen since his time with Borussia Dortmund.
She is also a football player and plays for Norwegian football club Bryne, where her boyfriend started his career. More
