Anyone watching? What's your favorite moment so far?
Mine is France's mixed biathlon team. The final (I think it was final) leg was a woman (don't know her name) who was in close contention with germany and one other team (I think it was norway). They all entered the shooting range around the same time, tired, for a standing shot, and with the gold medal on the line.
The woman from france stood there and just rattled off the most insanely clockwork timed firing set I've ever seen in the sport. Standing is a harder shot than prone, and the cadence was non-stop. Boom, click, boom, click, boom, click, boom. Nearly exactly the same timing on each shot, each one perfect. She skated her way to the team gold medal. The other two melted down. What an absolute clinic.
