Bronze in 2002 and 2009), three World Curling Championship bronze medals (2006, 2008 and 2009), and silver at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. 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.
On the strength of Norway"s national team during the tournament, Nergård commented that "it wasn"t easy coming into the championship without Tom, 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." At the closing ceremony of the championship, Nergård was honoured by his fellow competitors with the 2010 Colin Campbell Memorial Award, a recognition given to an athlete who "by deed and action in the course of their performance, best exemplified the traditional curling values of skill, honesty, fair play, friendship and sportsmanship.".
