It was shocking pictures when Fossesholm was taken care of several minutes after the finish line after she emptied herself completely.
Many feared that Fossesholm would not be able to participate in the award ceremony, but with great help she managed it.
- The body feels good, Fossesholm assures a few minutes after the award ceremony for SVT Sport.
- It was nice to get help and today I became so dumb, never think I felt so dumb, when I entered the stadium.
The head wanted more than the legs, says Fossesholm.
"I was not good enough"
- The others were too strong and I was not good enough, says Fossesholm and is upset that the sovereign Norway only came in third for the home crowd in Lillehammer.
- The third place was not at all what we hoped for.
Now we are aiming for revenge in the Olympics, she assures.
Norway's team today was identical to the team that won the World Cup in Oberstdorf last winter.
And the next relay will take place in connection with the Olympics in Beijing in February.
- Helene was tired and frozen.
She had to shiver and had to get something for her hands and legs, because she could barely stand up, says national team coach Ole Morten Iversen to NRK.
