The big story of yesterday was the second place finish of USA’s Susan Dunklee. This was her personal best and the highest place finish of a women’s US biathlete for World Cup ever! She and the rest of the athletes were cheered on by a packed stadium, including 2,500 enthusiastic local school children, equipped with cowbells.

Pursuit CompetitionThe starting times in the Pursuit are based on the finish times of a previous competition. The field is limited to just 60 athletes who normally start in less than five minutes. The first place competitor starts first followed by the rest of the competitors in rank order according to their time behind in the previous competition. Athletes and spectators alike know the standings at every moment as the first athlete is the leader. Interestingly, the first starter is rarely the winner in this unpredictable pressure filled competition. Athletes must take their firing positions in the order in which they enter the range - meaning that the leader takes firing point number one (on the far right of the range), the second athlete takes point number two and so on. The athletes shoot prone - prone - standing - standing and the coaches watch the first prone shooting very carefully to be able to give sight corrections to the athletes before the second prone stage if needed. For each miss, the athlete must ski the 150m penalty loop - often looking over their shoulder to see how many athletes are passing them. Filled with duels on the range, tactics on the course and photo finishes at the line, this competition is a favorite with athletes and spectators.

The crowd decked out in red, white and blue to cheer on the US team.
