The drama unfolded about eight kilometers into the race. Gros was taken by scooter to an ambulance for transport to the hospital.
"What happened was that I went a little too deep off the track, so to speak. Suddenly I couldn't feel my legs and collapsed in the ditch. I tried to stand up, but I couldn't," says Gros.
Despite the drama, the Slovenian says he was never really worried it was anything serious. But he will not compete further in the Tour de Ski.
Hopefully, things will go well and it turns out that this was just a one-time occurrence.
