ESPN Web HOME Contact Us Newsletter Sign-up Feature Stories ... Daily Email It's time the winter biathlon got some respect By James A. Swan, Ph.D. Author "In Defense of Hunting" Like most people, I've been following the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, enduring the all-too-frequent commercial breaks, the sometimes inane commentaries and often embarrassing interviews, as well as the scandal surrounding the figure skating pairs competition. Regardless of the distractions, at their best the Olympics touch our hearts and send the human spirit soaring. Right now people are up in arms about judging bias in figure skating. But there's another bias I think deserves some attention: media bias in reporting the winter biathlon. It's like climbing up 25 flights of stairs and then threading a needle five times, without missing the hole. US Biathlon team member Shaun Marshall-Pryde In the 2000 summer Olympic Games more than 100 countries competed in some two dozen Olympic weapons sports, among them biathlon, pentathlon, skeet, trap, pistol, rifle, archery and fencing. They got little notice. The biathlon is the only winter Olympic shooting sport and the only sport to appear in both summer and winter Olympics. What do we hear about biathletes? Not much. In northern Europe, the winter biathlon is more popular than the Super Bowl. Between December and March, World Cup biathlon matches draw the largest television audiences of any winter sport in Europe. During the five days of biathlon competition at the Lillehammer Olympics more than 500,000 wildly cheering spectators turned out, filling the 80,000 seat stadium, and spilling over into the woods to cheer on the biathletes. It was the most-watched event.

Print Print Preview Biathlon Article View On the File menu, click Print to print the information. Biathlon I. Introduction Biathlon , winter sport in which competitors cross-country ski over a prepared course, pausing at intervals to shoot at targets with a rifle. The difficulty and excitement of the biathlon lie in its diverse physical requirements. Skiing demands strength and endurance, while shooting requires precision and calm. The term biathlon is Greek for “two tests,” and though it most commonly refers to the winter sport, it is occasionally used to refer to competitions that combine two summer sports, such as bicycling and running. This article deals only with the winter biathlon. II. Strategy and Technique Carrying rifles on their backs, biathletes use the same skills as cross-country skiers: pacing, stamina, and solid skating and hill-climbing techniques. But biathletes also need to be able to shoot accurately. To do so, each time they stop they must slow their heartbeats from about 180 beats per minute to 120 beats, which allows them to take steady aim. Without removing their skis, biathletes fire from one of two positions—standing or prone (lying on the ground). The position used depends on the stage of the race. In either position, biathletes fire one shot at each of five targets as quickly as possible, squeezing the trigger in the stillness between their heartbeats.

March 1, 2002 Surprise! NBC Discovers Biathlon At the 2002 Winter Olympics by Joseph P. Tartaro Executive Editor Over more than 20 years as editor of Gun Week I have had occasion every four years or so to excoriate American sports reporters in general, and television in particular, for its failure to reasonably report on the shooting sports, especially during the Olympics. Then the Olympic schedule changed; the Winter and Summer Games were staggered so that while they each take place every four years, they were staggered so that the TV networks that bid so much money for exclusive broadcast rights would have some kind of Olympic sports programming every two years. Of course, that change gave me an opportunity to whip them for their failings regarding shooting sports every two years instead of four. And, while I was preparing to do so again for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) suddenly surprised me. Print Reporters On Feb. 14, The Buffalo News ran an interesting article on the biathletes written by Bucky Gleason, who was covering the Winter Olympics from Utah. Gleason began his piece with an anecdote involving two of the US biathletes, Jeremy Teela and Hakkinen. According to Gleason, last fall Teela and Hakkinen were walking through a metal detector in the Munich (Germany) airport when they triggered the alarm system.

OFFICIAL BIATHLON WEBSITE CITY OF FORT KENT BANGORNEWS.COM BANGORNEWS.COM SPORTS ... BDN SPECIAL SECTIONS This is Biathlon Though a relatively unknown sport in the U.S., Biathlon is the most popular winter Olympic sport on television in Europe today. Why? you might ask. Because it is exciting! Biathlon gots its Olympic start in 1936 Olympic Winter Games in Garmisch Partenkirchen, Germany. At that time, the Olympic event of Biathlon consisted of one race modeled after a military patrol. After World War II, Biathlon was absent from the Olympic agenda until the 20 kilometer individual event was added to the 1960 Winter Games in Squaw Valley. It has been a part of the Olympic program ever since, but not without changes. Along with rule change has come technology, faster skis, target systems that show hits and misses instantly, and computer technology that instantly relays feedback from the target to the timing systems and to television production. All of this combined has allowed spectators to follow biathlon competitions with greater ease, understanding, and enthusiasm. The target system used for the 2004 Biathlon World Cup in Fort Kent is state-of-the-art. Targets measure hits and misses by using a laser to detect the weight of the lead entering the black bullseye of the target. If the wieght measured by the laser equals over half the weight of a .22-caliber bullet, the target registers a hit, and the black target turns white.

Barbwires Barbwires Barbwires Barbwires Barbwires Current Barbwires BARBWIRE When corporate welfare becomes an Olympic sport by ANDREW BARBANO From the 7-1-2001 Daily Sparks (Nev.) Tribune I like dragons, but I detest the vampire variety which makes me dust off the weapons to kill those scaly slimies again and again. I especially resent feeding the critters with my money. For decades, I've decried the many forms of corporate welfare which bleed individual Nevadans to make the wealthy few even wealthier. The City of Reno has apparently not learned a thing from its loser deals to fund the Faux Harrah's Auto Museum and the still-unfinished Downtown White Elephant Bowling Alley. Now, the jockocracy is getting all ooey-gooey about a minor league baseball stadium next to the pink pill box housing the corpse of Harrah's long-decomposed car collection. Were it private money, I'd be all in favor. Just don't ask me to subsidize any more fatal attractions for downtown casino interests. I thought I had at least put the voracious public utility firebreather on a diet 21 years ago when I managed the statewide initiative which forced the legislature to create the consumer advocate's office. Now, the Sierra Pacific reptile is back, meaner and hungrier than ever.
