2010 Biathlon

The Vancouver Games kick off tonight, and as usual I will be glued to the biathlon, if not live then through the miracle of the DVR. Even without Rachel Steer skiing and shooting for the USA, it’ll be great to watch.

Here’s the biathlon page, with schedules and more.

And here’s the Team USA page. Keep an eye on Jay Hakkinen– he demolished the field in his leg of a relay in Torino four years ago. I’d like to see him repeat that performance and ascend the podium.

Good luck to all!

UPDATE: Gunbroker is auctioning a heap of 2010 Biathlon Rifles– I think something like 50, since they’re going state by state. Now would be an excellent time to pick one up since the $$$ goes to the very good cause of the US Biathlon Team. (Yes, I have put in a bid.)
