Jesus, you are the healer! We pray for full health for Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold, and that she would give her life to you. The Olympics are a great time of cultural influence. We need the Christian Olympians to have success in sharing the gospel and advancing the Kingdom in Beijing so that all those gathered take the truth back to their home countries.

From Yahoo Sports: ZHANGJIAKOU, China — With one kilometer remaining in the women’s 10km pursuit biathlon, Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold of Norway was pushing her way toward the finish in third place. But she didn’t end up finishing in third, or fourth or fifth. Tandrevold, laboring the final meters of the race, finished in 14th place, collapsing as she crossed the finish line

It was a grim ending to an incredibly difficult biathlon run in blinding snow. Medical officials attended to Tandrevold, who was reportedly conscious in the minutes following the race.

“I don’t know anything more than that she is awake and being taken care of by the doctor inside the heating booth. That’s all I know,” team manager Per Arne Botnan said, according to Norwegian media. “It puts a damper on a gold and a bronze that we can’t celebrate much yet until we know what it’s like with Ingrid…”

“The conditions were very heavy,” bronze medalist Tiril Eckhoff, also of Norway, said afterward. “There was a lot of snow, and a lot of slow snow. It was a tough race and I had to work my ass off to get a medal.”

Tandrevold “tried to follow Elvira (Oeberg, silver medalist) and she hardly came to the finish,” Norway’s team doctor said, according to biathlon-affiliated media. “She was exhausted, so disappointed but not unconscious. She has stressed herself, she is eating and drinking now. I guess it’s the cold and the altitude.”
