The ski race at Holmenkollen marked a significant moment in sports history, being the first time both men's and women's competitions occurred simultaneously. However, the event took an unexpected turn when Swedish skier Ebba Andersson vanished into thick fog while competing. Initially, she was in a strong position, maintaining pace with the leaders at the 19.6-kilometer mark. Yet, as the race progressed, reports indicated that she had fallen 30 seconds behind by the next time checkpoint at 21.6 kilometers. This sudden change prompted immediate concern from her coach, Ida Ingemarsdotter, who expressed uncertainty about the situation during a broadcast on Viaplay.
