Norwegian Star Breaks Down: "Now I'm Touched"

SKI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Norwegian star Heidi Weng broke down in tears at Friday's press conference when asked about her teammate Linn Svahn's situation. Svahn had to withdraw from the championships due to a concussion. Weng expressed her empathy, saying,

"I didn't mean to get emotional, but Linn needs to be very careful during the first days. I wish no one would have to go through this, and I was really looking forward to seeing Linn at the start."

Weng herself struggled with issues following a concussion in the past, resulting in chronic migraines that affected her daily life for an extended period.
