Emil Iversen to Seek Help Amid Struggles in Finland

Emil Iversen (33) discusses his difficult days in Finland and announces he will seek help to address his challenges. He revealed that he has been feeling very sad and struggling with his mental health, particularly after underwhelming performances at the World Cup. Iversen finished 35th in the 10 km classic and earlier placed 60th in the sprint prologue. Despite these setbacks, he managed to achieve a 13th place in the 20 km mass start, expressing relief to finally score points. He admits that he has struggled with sleep and faced significant pressure, feeling different than before. He plans to return home to seek professional support to help him regain his mental strength and tackle his emotional burdens.

Iversen recognizes that these memories have been difficult to handle and is determined to return to a positive path. He has a guaranteed spot in the World Cup before Christmas due to his wins in the previous season's Scandinavian Cup.
