And there used to be archery events with two entries. The key word - "used to".

 

Cross-country skiing reworked their unfair medal events. Biathlon ought to do the same.

Pretty sure the 1920 Archery competitions were just a conspiracy to increase 's all time gold medal count. With just the medals they won in 1920 Belgium would be third in the all time medal table for the sport.

Røiseland looks like she just warmed up for the race.

I really fucked up the prediction contest by assuming this would be a race rather than a free gold medal for the sprint winner

You don't watch much biathlon on daily basis? Olsbu would have a clear shot at gold even with 17/20 given her advantage after sprint.

 

Top 10 consolation for Hojnisz after a terrible first shoot

 

Hanna Sola takes Alimbekava's usual 4th place.

Eckhoff 3rd?? What happened to Tandrevold?

[Monzanator 4,518]

Da fuq happened to Tandrevold? Eckhoff takes bronze?

Tandrevold absolutely blown.

Unbelievable that before this year Norway had only 1 gold medal in women's biathlon in all Olympics combined including relays. Now Olsbu has 2 individual ones.

Tandrevold completely gassed out on the last mini-climb? That was worse than Rydzek in the combined.

What was the name of the German guy that happened to in a relay?  Had to retire with heart problems, about 20 years ago.
