The great physical exertion at high altitude is a problem for numerous athletes at the 2022 Olympics. Biathlete Ingrid Landmark-Tandrevold from Norway collapsed after the pursuer at the finish.
Norwegian biathlete Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold is on the mend after collapsing at the end of the Olympic pursuit, according to the team. The 25-year-old, who was still third shortly before the end, lost her strength on Sunday, Tandrevold collapsed at the finish and had to be treated.
Her teammate and friend Tiril Eckhoff won bronze at the Winter Games in Zhangjiakou. “She is conscious and receiving medical attention. She’s okay,” Eckhoff said.
All he knew was that Tandrevold was awake and being cared for by doctors, national coach Per Arne Botnan initially added on Discovery. According to the NTB news agency, team doctor Lars Kolsrud later said that she was fine. Tandrevold eat and relax and was conscious the whole time.
He told Norwegian Radio that Tandrevold was very happy that Eckhoff had picked up the bronze medal – so the medal stays in Fossum, where both compete for the same club. Tandrevold had had similar problems several times in the past. Sunday’s race took place in snow and icy winds.
