Biathlon star Tankrevold after cardiac surgery: return uncertain!

The Norwegian Ingrid Landmark Teldrevold, an outstanding biathlete with four world championship titles, is faced with serious health challenges. Due to cardiac arrhythmias, she had to skip in the start of the season in Kontiolahti races. These disorders meant that she even had to stop during the individual competition, which was captured in terrifying scenes when she leaned on the chest with both hands. Their health state prompted her to be operated on, as the Norwegian association reports. In the minimally invasive intervention, a catheter was used to specifically treat the heart tissue that causes the rhythm disorders.
