One Talkoo resident was injured in the situation. According to Nordman, the injuries were minor, but he was still taken to the hospital by ambulance.
According to the delivery, the first aid arrived quickly in the situation. The organizers stood there as a visual barrier and directed people to walk elsewhere.
The injured person was put on a stretcher and taken for treatment.
Nordman says that the tent in question has been taken out of use for the rest of the Games.
