Luckiest gold medal ever

[SuperAllyMcleod]

Give the Biathlon (skiing and shooting) a watch - it's a fantastic sport where you are never guaranteed a win until it's all over.

There are a number of different disciplines - sprint (against the clock), pursuit (where the winner of the sprint heads out first and is followed by the others at time intervals determined by the sprint), mass start (everyone starts together) and Individual ( the longest race distance wise).

The men and women are given equal billing and there's 3 relay races too.

Unfortunately the first race is on when we are playing Raith so it will need to by Sky plussed.
