Norwegian star pulls out of Winter Olympics after collapsing in terrifying incident

Norwegian star Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold has pulled out of the Winter Olympics after collapsing at the finish line of the women's biathlon 10km pursuit on Sunday.

Tandrevold, who has a history of heart problems, looked set to win a medal in the event, before stalling during the final lap and collapsing in a heap after crossing the finish line.

The 25-year-old ultimately finished 14th after skiers continued to pass her, and had to be carried away by members of her coaching team.
