Race Snapshot: IBU WC 4 Women’s Sprint

Spector-acular day for Laura?  Ok, so maybe I’m not that funny.  Still, looks like she had the race of her life (thus far)!

Race Snapshot: IBU WC 4 Men’s Sprint

Biathlon World Cup action started up again today (well, the individual races anyway; there were relays the last two days).  The results look a bit topsy-turvy, with a fair number of big names having a tough day at the office.  Looks like several of the North Americans had some issues in the range.

Race Snapshot: TdS Classic Sprint

Great day for North America, overall.  Fantastic races by Kershaw and Harvey and strong efforts by Freeman and Randall (for a classic sprint, not her specialty, certainly not Freeman’s).  Newell probably isn’t thrilled with his 12th place, given how much stumbling around it sounded like he did during the semis, but it’s not a terrible […]
