Biathlon|Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold’s weapon harness failed.
Norwegian biathlon star Ingrid Landmark Tandrevoldin a special event was included in the Anterselva World Cup.
Tandrevold’s gun harness failed as he was approaching the firing point. Because of this, Tandrevold was unable to carry his gun normally on his back, but had to hold it in his hands as he approached the shooting site.
The video posted by the International Biathlon Federation on its X account shows how Tandrevold holds the gun with one hand on his shoulder when he comes to the shooting site and the barrel of the gun points forward.
“This could become bigger problems for him, when the pipe doesn’t stay up to the sky all the time”, guessed Yle’s expert Kaisa Mäkäräinen on TV.
Dental violence himself said that he noticed that the fastening of the gun had failed and he had no other choice but to take the gun in his hands. He surprised by rejecting speculation, because he thought he had done the right thing in the situation.
“I can’t understand what I did wrong. It must be related to the fact that I pointed the gun in a direction I shouldn’t have. It’s the only possible thing. I shot with the gun I had and got a spare before I left the shoot. No one can say that I would have benefited from the situation,” Tandrevold told NRK.
He cleared the ensuing shootout with one fine. He was satisfied with his performance, because the approach became difficult and the broken harness affected the balance of the gun.
Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation NRK reported after the competitionthat the event did not lead to Tandrevold’s rejection. Thus, he gets to join the chase, where he starts in 23rd place.
Tandrevoldin there have been twists and turns in the season. At the World Cup in Kontiolahti, he had to whistle after shooting due to arrhythmia. Because of that, after the race weekend, he underwent a heart operation, which kept him out of the races.
He was able to return to the race tracks in Oberhof a few weeks ago.
