Olympics star Ingrid Tandrevold collapses on her skis in dramatic finish of biathlon 10km pursuit at Winter Games

NORWEGIAN star Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold sparked major fears for her health after she collapsed at the finish line of Sunday’s biathlon 10km pursuit at the Winter Olympics.

The 25-year-old was firmly in the hunt for a medal before a terrifying final lap led to her doubling over on her skis towards the end.

Several of her rivals gained ground on the exhausted Tandrevold, who eventually crossed the line in 14th place before collapsing to the ground.

She appeared to be motionless as officials and medics quickly raced over to her.

After a delay, Tandrevold was then helped to her feet and away from the course.

Team manager Per Arne Botnan confirmed that she was conscious shortly afterwards but could not offer any further details on her condition.

He said: “I don’t know anything more than that she is awake and being taken care of by the doctor inside the heating booth. That’s all I know.

“It puts a damper on a gold and a bronze that we can’t celebrate much yet until we know what it’s like with Ingrid.”
