Kristine Stavås Skistad's Olympics are over. After finishing fifth in the sprint - in which Linn Svahn, Jonna Sundling and Maja Dahlqvist took the top three places - the Norwegian sprint star has returned home.

According to Norwegian TV2, Skistad has left the championships and will therefore not be part of the Norwegian team in the sprint relay.

My experience is that she was relieved and thought it was nice to go home instead of walking around and waiting, says national team manager Per Elias Kalfoss to the channel.

Skistad is not alone in leaving the Olympic squad early.

Oskar Opstad Vike, Ingrid Bergene Aabrekk and Milla Grossberghaugen Andreassen have also traveled home.
