Last weekend, Simen Hegstad Krüger, who took two silver and one bronze at the World Cup this year, was forced to the emergency room.
This after drama in the running track by Lake Sognsvann in Oslo.
- Two little sweet hundred scolded me when I met them.
I did not really think much about it, but suddenly they went on the attack and bit me in the leg and ankle.
I was easily shocked that two dogs went loose and that they felt insecure with people, says Simen Hegstad Krüger to Dagbladet.
"Took tetanus shot"
The 28-year-old was in the hospital for a few hours.
- I took a tetanus shot and took antibiotics for safety.
The dog owners were sad that it had happened, I got the impression that they were as surprised as I was.
Hegstad Krüger will be able to drive in this weekend's premiere in Beitostölen, where he rides 15 kilometers classic and freestyle on Saturday and Sunday.
