MOSCOW, February 14 Norwegian biathlete Ingrid Tandrevold announced that she was banned from competing at the Beijing Olympics for health reasons. Tandrevold became ill at the end of the Sunday pursuit. After crossing the finish line, the Norwegian fell and lay in the snow for several minutes. She was unable to leave the track on her own. The medical staff of the Norwegian team considered that the reasons for Tandrevold's poor health were, among other things, the cold and the altitude. I didn’t have the best day. It was one of the best, after which it suddenly became one of the worst,” Tandrevold, who burst into tears at a press conference, is quoted by NRK. It is noted that the 25-year-old biathlete will go to Norway. In January last year, Tandrevold could not finish the sprint race at the World Cup in Oberhof, Germany due to cardiac fibrillation.
