I just read a pretty funny quote in Rolling Stone from Shaun White, the snowboarder:
"The Olympics is really awesome, but for some snowboarders, it's not the biggest thing in the world. So we were pretty lighthearted about the whole situation. But these biathlon guys were intense. And it was even sketchier because they have guns. They ski really far and then they shoot things. So I was thinking, 'If I mess with these guys, they will ski me down and then gun me down.'"
Maybe I'm just really bored but that image made me chuckle...crazed biathlonetes (is that what they're called?) chasing down and shooting at fleeing, McTwisting snowboarders...
I don't think he has to worry too much. From what I heard our biatheletes couldn't hit much.
