Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold has been given the all-clear after her bid for a medal in biathlon’s 10km pursuit dramatically unravelled due to exhaustion at the Winter Olympics in Beijing. The Norwegian was challenging her team-mate and eventual winner Marte Olsbu Roeiseland coming out of the final shoot but her bid to get on the podium quickly fell apart, as Sweden’s Elvira Oeberg surged past her to win silver ahead of Tiril Eckhoff.

“Ingrid has dressed herself, and now sits and eats and relaxes,” said Kolsrud. “She is very sorry that she did not get the position she had hoped for.

She was really knocked out and took everything out, but was conscious all the time. “The last thing she said was that she was very proud of her friends, and that if she had to give up that place first, it would be to Tiril”.
