She was just one kilometer away from her second Ironman world title, but then things went terribly wrong for Solveig Løvseth: last Saturday, the Norwegian triathlete was completely overcome by the heat and collapsed entirely in the final phase of the race. Løvseth fell to the ground multiple times, lost all sense of direction, walked the wrong way, and remained lying down for a long time. After tens of minutes, Løvseth still managed to stumble through the final kilometer toward the finish, where she ultimately crossed the line in eighth place.
