France dominates biathlon

#1 Post by froggy »

Yesterday France managed an historical first by taking the 4 top spots of the men’s 20 km individual at Biathlon World Championships in Östersund . The 5th French competitor was actually 7th .
Just incredible... What an amazing performance !!

That's good to hear! It makes a change to hear someone other than Russians or Nordic countries winning!
Never take good advice, if you think you know better.

One of the most physical endurance sports there is!

The British version, with roller skates and air rifles around the New Forest isn’t all its cracked up to be.... 8-)
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
