Biatholon
Team rely event on USA right now. They are about halfway through, should take another 45 minutes or so.

Re: Biatholon
The army offered my father an opportunity to train for the biatholon in the 1968 (I think) Olympics. He and my family were stationed in Alaska at the time.
It was extremely early in the process. So, there's no way of knowing how far he could have gotten. However, Dad wasn't interested so nothing came of it.

Can anybody teach our guys how to f-ing shoot? That is all. [/ QUOTE ] The targets are 50 meters away and aren't much bigger than the size of coasters. Plus, the fact that your heart is pumping quite hard. I've tried this in a Summer Biathlon (running/shooting) and the targets were only 25 meters away and it was hard to do.
