Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold: Tearful farewell to collapse

The Norwegian biathletin Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold collapsed in the destination room and now bangs their health.

When the big shock was digested, Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold summed up so difficult, but only correct decision. "I'll fly home," said the Norwegian biathletin and cried bitter tears: "My heart is broken." After her worrying collapse on the finish line, she will refrain from the final races at the Olympic Games (daily in the LiveTicker).

Even a day after the persecution, the shocking pictures were still after. Tandrevold had bronze in the hunt race already in mind, a kilometer in front of the goal she was still on medal course - but then nothing left. With the last strength, the 25-year-old trailed over the finish line, broke directly behind it and lay open moments motionless in the ice-cold snow of Zhangjiakou.

Only minutes later was clear: Tandrevold was awareness - and just completely exhausted. A Norwegian and an Italian supervisor had to carry the heavily beaten ski hunter from the target area.

Previously, the three-time season world champion had almost "stood" on the target straight, alone on the last kilometer she lost a minute on her victorious teammate Marte Olsbu Roiseland. But the sporty, the missed first Olympic medal, all that moved to this frosty evening in China in the background.
