– I had some challenges with my heart on others lying down. It made it difficult to shoot and I spent quite a long time. It didn’t stop completely after I finished shooting. Then it was difficult to go as fast as I wanted on skis, says Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold to news. – How are you doing now? – It’s going well. It happens quickly and passes quickly. Tandrevold was the second slowest of all 99 runners in the fourth round in the short-normal distance. Tandrevold only missed once and was in the close range for a long time, but the trouble in the track cost her a good position. French Lou Jeanmonnot was the best and took the victory 12.3 seconds ahead of Sweden’s Ella Halvarsson and 56.4 seconds ahead of Elvira Öberg. Tandrevold lost abnormally much to Jeanmonnot on the fourth lap: 8.8 km: Tandrevold 29 seconds behind Jeanmonnot 9.1 km: Tandrevold 37.1 seconds behind Jeanmonnot 9.4 km: Tandrevold 50.5 seconds behind Jeanmonnot In to shooting (so approx. 9.8 km): 1.20.6 minutes behind Jeanmonnot WIN: Lou Jeanmonnot was fastest of all on the The 12.5 km long short-normal distance. Photo: BILDBYRÅN Has also had heart problems in the past The heart problems meant she had to stop on the trail. – I tried to use the tricks I’ve learned to make it stop, and it didn’t work as well as I wanted today and had to stop along the way. Then I obviously lost a lot of time, but I had no choice, she says and continues: – I had to stop, calm my pulse, use some techniques I have learned and wait until it passed before I could go on again. Also in the past, Tandrevold has been open about problems with his heart during races. Among other things in 2021, when she had heart fibrillation and collapsed after the finish line. – Someone has checked this before and I have had it checked out, it’s just unfortunate that it happens during a ski race, she says after Wednesday’s race. – What happens next, are you ready for the sprint? – It is a bit difficult to say right now, but I certainly believe so and I hope so at least. Then we’ll just see how it feels over the next few days. Very special Several experts reacted to Tandrevold’s violent loss in the track before they knew what had happened. – It is very, very special. Something must have happened out on the trail there. An accident or something, says news’s biathlon expert Ola Lunde. – She has lost 24 seconds in the 600 metres. Something must have happened. It sounds quite difficult to achieve for such a good performer. There is something mysterious here now, says TV 2’s biathlon expert Ole Kristian Stoltenberg. – There was a huge time difference, so something must have happened. It should not normally be possible at Ingrid’s level, because she is so strong at skiing. Whether she has hit a rock and braked her skis or been out in the ditch … I feel she has been down a place now, adds TV 2’s biathlon expert Ole Einar Bjørndalen. Former teammate Tiril Eckhoff was also surprised. – This is not Ingrid as I know her, so I am very excited about whether it was Ingrid or whether something has happened, says Eckhoff, current TV 2 expert. For several of the other Norwegian women, it was a difficult day at the stand. Karoline Offigstad Knotten had a nightmare start with three misses on the first shoot, while Maren Kirkeeide, Emilie Ågheim Kalkenberg and Gro Randby also had to endure a number of misses. The race was the first individual race of the World Cup season for the women. Last weekend, the biathlon elite competed in relays in Finland.
