Bradbury is the brightest symbol of a forever winner

Yeah, and I really doubt he'd be considered more of a winner than someone who won tons of World Cups but happened to not make it at the Olympics

Eurosport forgot there's biathlon going on at the moment.

That's quite unbelievable.

 

she's one of those kind of athletes I like to call "successful losers"...

 

I mean, they are definitely among the top guys in their sport, but they still lack something (the ability to raise their game when it matters the most) to reach the status of "great athlete" / "true champion" and so on...

 

and forgetting for a while any kind of objectivity, speaking as a pure fan, they are the athletes that makes me mad every time they look on the verge of getting the often deserved "big (Gold) medal" and they waste everything because they're not mentally strong enough...

 

p.s. in Wierer's case, what makes me really angry about her, it's what she always says after this kind of fails...

she doesn't even seem to care about a medal in the big championships...she's always happy...she never shows to be frustrated/mad because of (another) wasted chance...

it's her attitude...she might be a fantastic woman to live with, but that's no good at all for a "top" athlete...

Boe already far ahead 

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Boe can afford himself another two misses.

[Monzanator 4,579]

We went from a 4-men group battling for silver to a 5-men group with completely different names

 

Pidruchnyi going for redemption!

[Kirkpatrick 144]

One more shooting to go, and probably dozen or so candidates for silver and bronze. Not bad at least in that regard. Boe can miss another two and still comfortably win.

[Kirkpatrick 144]

25 seconds between 2nd and 13th.

[Monzanator 4,579]

JTB misses three! He wants to add some excitement here...

[Kirkpatrick 144]

3 misses, and he'll still win.

 

Such a Johaug.
