The Norwegian of Uno-X Mobility was one of the runners who ended up falling during the 2025 edition of North Hell and, as has happened to many, was forced to abandon the race following the incident, although his abandonment intervened several minutes after his fall.

“After the fall, I had a little headache and I felt confused,” said Kristoff, “I think I had a concussion. I got back on the bike but I did not know at all in which direction I was going.
