Ongoing Criticism - Sports Star Speaks Out: "I Can't Stand It Anymore"

Originally published in Krone.at on April 22, 2025

Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold has heavily criticized the treatment she has faced, particularly from the domestic media, over recent months. She has expressed a feeling of being seen not as a person but merely as a subject for scrutiny. "I can’t take it anymore," she lamented in the podcast "Big 5 med Nils og Harald," showcasing her fatigue with the press's approach towards her. The 28-year-old biathlete feels that genuine empathy and fair reporting have been absent as she dealt with health issues and fluctuating sport performance, including a necessary heart surgery. Yet, despite this treatment, she has chosen against a media boycott, opting instead to respond as blandly as possible, though she admits to struggling with that approach.
