Heidi Weng has constant headaches and struggles to make ends meet. The 31-year-old has also had problems with vertigo-related crystal disease.
Weng managed to take two individual second places in the World Cup this past season. But she was forced to leave Planica before the championship started because the training background was too poor. After a short break in April, Weng trained well in May and won the Fornebuloppet cross-country race by running the mile in 34.55 ten days ago.
