Olympic Biathlon Training

This is a really cool TIME story about Olympic Biathlon training.

How well do you think you would do at hitting a 2" target after cross country skying at full speed for 15 miles?

I don't know how they do it. The kind of skiing they do looks like it really exerts the body. How they can calm themselves for a good shot always amazes me.

Well...if I could rest up for about 3 days before I try the shot, I might be able to hit the target. ;D

Those guys are Super Athletes. I sure like those slings they use while skiing.
