While surgery was reportedly successful, Giacomel will be unable to take part in the forthcoming biathlon races, which will cost him the possibility to compete for the World cup (he is currently second)

Tommaso Giacomel, 25, was leading the Olympic biathlon mass start event when he started to experience side pain, malaise and shortness of breath. He had to withdraw while heading for a possible gold. In-depth exams revealed an arrhythmia and he underwent a cardiac ablation
