Hate news hits biathlon star: Who is attacking Ingrid Tandrevold?
Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold experienced a bitter day today at the Biathlon World Championships in Lenzerheide. The Norwegian biathlete, who recently had heart surgery, struggled with great difficulties in the mixed relay race. After a slow start in which she had two penalties, she was unable to save the Norwegian team from fourth place. However, her disappointment with the result was compounded by a vile hate message she received after the race. “I wish you all the evil in the world,” was just one of the hurtful comments Tandrevold received. In an emotional Instagram post, she commented: "Not my day today. My team was outstanding and they deserve better," she reported.
Sad reactions
The incident caused great consternation in the biathlon community. Norway's sports director Per Arne Botnan said: "It's sad to see that there are people out there who have nothing else to do but write such idiotic things." This shows the vulnerable side of sport, where athletes often face pain and criticism despite their successes. However, Tandrevold's dedicated efforts and return from her heart surgery on December 18th, which was considered successful, were also recognized. Botnan confirmed that Tandrevold will be at full speed as she traveled to Oberhof with the Norwegian team to prepare for the next competitions.
Although the biathlete was confronted with harsh criticism and hurtful comments, there remains hope for a successful continuation of her career and a positive comeback. As Botnan emphasized, she quickly got back into training and was able to train well during the holidays. Despite the challenges, Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold seems determined not to let her passion for the sport discourage her as she prepares for upcoming competitions.
How Sweden Herald reports, this incident not only shows the difficulties athletes like Tandrevold face, but also the strength it takes to not let it get them down. The sport of biathlon not only means pressure to perform, but also dealing with criticism and overcoming personal challenges.
