World Cup return open
World champion undergoes heart surgery
Four-time biathlon world champion Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold from Norway has undergone heart surgery.
Due to cardiac arrhythmia, the 28-year-old had already missed races at the start of the season in Kontiolahti, after which she did not compete in Hochfilzen or Le Grand-Bornand. During the minimally invasive procedure on Wednesday, a thin catheter was inserted through the blood vessels directly to the heart, according to the Norwegian federation. There, the heart tissue causing the arrhythmia is specifically treated.
Open to return
Tandrevold, who occasionally had these disturbances, said that she was feeling well and had already returned to light training. In Finland at the start of the season, she had to stop on the track for a while in both the individual race and the sprint. It remains to be seen when she will return to the World Cup.
