The Biathlon world championship is currently taking place in Oslo. France's wonderboy, Martin Fourcade, has already won 3 titles (including a mixed relay) :good:

What an awesome sport :good:

An other Gold medal for France thanks to Marie Dorin-Habert. Amazingly, an other French girl, Anais Bescon, takes silver with nearly 1 minute ahead of her third rival :o

The Biathlon World Championships is now over & France arrived 1st with 11 medals beating Norway (9) and Germany (7)

Wahoooooo ... what a result !! The best ever ...
To be noted that the Norwegian Ole Bjorndalen still managed to bag 4 medals including a gold at the age of 42 ...
Sadly, I bet the vast majority of French people have not got a clue about it but of course they would know every single players of the national embarassement that is the French football team wallhead

Excellent result for France, very well done indeed. I have nothing but respect for the Biathlon athletes regardless of country.
