Bormio – The images of Atle Lie McGrath’s escape into the forest went around the world: Now the Norwegian ski racer has spoken about his feelings after the bitter slalom exit at the Olympics. “I just needed to get away from everything. I thought I would find some peace – which wasn’t the case because photographers and police found me in the forest. I just needed some time to myself,” said the 25-year-old hours after elimination. He mourns his deceased grandfather.
