The US Biathlon Association (USBA) announces the addition of William (Bill) Alfond to its board of trustees. This is the latest step in its ongoing effort to create a culture of success within the small, but emerging winter Olympic sport. The USBA has made a series of high profile announcements this winter including signing Banknorth as a title sponsor, moving its headquarters to Maine, hosting the 2006 Olympic Trials in Fort Kent, Maine and the addition of Larry Pugh and Bill Haggett, two highly respected business executives with roots in Maine, to its board. Biathlon, an Olympic sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle marksmanship, is the only US winter sport, yet to win an Olympic medal. It is however, enjoying its best year ever with six different athletes combining for over thirty top-30 World Cup finishes this season. In a sport where one missed target can mean the difference between a gold medal and 20th place, it is clear that the US Team is on the brink.

These aren't things your crazy uncle does - they're Olympic sports. Here's a look at some of the weird winter sports you'll see at the 2002 Olympics. Skeleton Skeleton is being held at the Winter Olympics for the first time since 1948. This was the world's first sliding sport. Riders slide on a small metal sled with two runners. The sport was given its name in 1892 when the new metal sled was introduced and everyone thought it looked like a skeleton. Riders do risk being nothing but a pile of bones by the end of a run since they ride head first at speeds nearing 90 miles per hour. In 2002, women will compete in this sport for the first time. Biathlon Biathlon combines two sports: cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Competitors are given points for how fast they ski and how accurate they can shoot. The sport originally started out as a survival strategy. People in Northern Europe would ski with guns to hunt for food and defend their countries. In the biathlon that takes place at the Winter Olympics, competitors just Snowball Fights shoot at targets - not animals or each other.

In the Library History My Blog Biography Glossaries Calendar ... Directory Before 1924 Because of its popularity in England, figure skating was on the program for the 1908 Olympic Games in London. When Antwerp, Belgium, hosted the 1920 Olympics after World War II, there was competition in both ice hockey and figure skating. Those sports could, of course, be conducted in rinks during the Summer Games. But other winter sports that were becoming popular in Northern Europe and the Alpine regions, such as skiing and bobsledding, obviously had to stay outdoors. After 1920, national governing bodies for such sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics. Top of Page 1924: Chamonix, France The town of Chamonix, in the French Alps, planned a winter sports festival in 1924, when Paris was to host the Olympics. The Marquis de Polignac, a member of the International Olympic Committee, proposed to the IOC that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games. Another Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, was opposed to the idea. However, the IOC agreed that Chamonix could call its festival a "Olympic winter carnival."

Although she had never trained for the sport, she agreed, borrowing skis and wadding up tissue to stuff into the toes of too-large boots. It was at this meet that Bédard discovered her passion for biathlon and she took to the sport immediately. Within a year she won the Canadian Junior Biathlon Championship, and was the first Canadian athlete to win a World Cup biathlon event in 1991. She finished that season with a total of six medals, including two gold, and an overall second place finish in the World Cup standings. The 1992 Winter Games in Albertville, France marked the first time in the history of the Olympic Games that the biathlon was open to women. Bédard headed up a strong Canadian women's team, winning a bronze medal in the 15 km race, and becoming the first North American athlete ever to win an Olympic medal in a biathlon event. She followed up this medal performance with her first World Championship victory in 1993.
