Biathlon at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

[Federer91 3,191]

GRANDE LORA     Still can't believe this actually happened.

 

No one was of course expecting to medal in biathlon, one of the most competitive winter sports. A regular top 10 seemed impossible with the awful season we were having. 

 

Even our commentator, who is one of the best sporting journalists we have period, and has commentated biathlon for over 20 years was very emotional and started crying. He said, he never believed he would get the chance to commentate an Olympic medal for  in his lifetime, as he wasn't on deck in 1998 & 2002, but here we are.

 

Also, damn you Frenchies, couldn't you miss some more once in a while

Didn't expect to see the best winter Olympics for  since 1998, but it's been a thrill to see y'all do so well.

In Salt Lake City we  won 3 medals - 1 silver and 2 bronze, so someone from among Vladimir Zografski in ski jumping or Albert Popov in slalom or why not someone from among the biathletes needs to win gold so that we can declare the games in Milano the best winter Olympics since 1998. All we can do is wish for it and hope for it.

WTF 

 

I commented she had 'quite a bit of luck', but this is something else 

 

It made all the difference in the world for her, but no difference at all for Franch fans, as she would have finished 2nd behind Jeanmonnot.

Popov is one of my favourite slalom specialists, but I'm afraid he won't stand much of a chance on such a flat slope.
