It was strange... talked to several people and all had the same experience of getting to the front of the line and then being put at the back of a second line.
BTW meant to compliment you on the excel layout of the TV schedule
There were two Skielbreid sisters, except Ann was much weaker. Then there was Gro Marit Istad: a good shooter but weak in cross-country skiing. Italy once had Natalie Santer, then Ponza.
It wasn't once the case that biathlon was mainly a sport practiced in the former USSR and their friendly countries: e.g. DDR?
Yeah, think Skjelbreid was the first in the line. When I first started watching the Norwegian women were well behind the men. Forsberg, Disl & Zubrilova were the stars.
