I like it. Make the doubles event use a sidecar with a mounted .50 machine gun - driver and gunner switch places at the halfway point. Bomb inside with a timer so they won't be tempted to slow down. You want an elimination event, this is an elimination event!

I think you'd probably solve the problem of small crowd sizes, too.

No. Only because I can’t shoot a bow. Can I have my little brother stand in, and I’ll ride around on my mountain bike?

Maybe the word “consecutive” has something to do with this.

Shooting is usually 1 event per games, over 6 games. So rethink your comment.

Archery and mountain bike for (Summer Biathon) That could be fun.

Not such a bad idea! Funny, as well.

Might want to reread.

It says she has won a medal in 6 Olympic games. 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016. Only Summer Olympian to do so along with 1 luger in the Winter games

It’s a fact that the majority of great shooters are blue eyed. Blue eyes are more sensitive to light so fast reactions are more likely according to the experts.
