Biathlon career

Hafsås first competed in the Biathlon World Cup in Pyeongchang, South Korea in February 2008. His initial appearance (in a 10:km sprint) was spoiled by bad shooting, but he earned the first World Cup points of his career in the pursuit that followed, with a 21st place. Hafsås claimed his first top ten placing in the World Cup the next week, placing ninth in another sprint in Khanty-Mansiysk.

Hafsås' best finish in the Biathlon World Cup so far is a sixth place, which he earned (again in a sprint) during the opening weekend of the 2008-09 season at Östersund.

Cross-country skiing career

As a cross-country skier, Hafsås has two World Cup victories (one individual and one in a relay), both of which he earned during the opening weekend of the 2009-10 Cross-Country Skiing World Cup in Beitostølen, Norway. On November 21, 2009, Hafsås, who had been better established at the professional level as a biathlete, surprisingly won the 15:km freestyle individual compe*ion that opened the year, by the very narrow margin of 0.2 seconds ahead of Vincent Vittoz. This earned him a spot in the Norwegian team for the next day's 4 × 10:km relay. Hafsås' performance on the third leg wasn't as stellar as the day before, as he gave up some ground to Alexander Legkov of Russia and René Sommerfeldt of Germany; however, Norway still won thanks to Petter Northug as the anchor.

At the 2010 Winter Olympics, he finished 42nd in the 15:km event.

Hafsås retired after the 2012–13 season after having been hampered by illness for three seasons.
