Just watched the second half of the DVR’d biathlon from Vancouver, the Men’s 12.5km Pursuit. Just like the women’s race, it was a fantastic competition. The winner, Bjorn Ferry of Sweden, was able to capitalize on one opportunity, after not being near the lead for most of the race. The leader for most of the race, Jay of France, already won a gold so he’s no slouch; but when Ferry saw the opening, his skiing ability in the final lap was the decisive factor.
Two good lessons there– consistency and an eye for an opening.
