        There is a Venn diagram of fat fucks, gun owners and skiing athletes and I reckon the US isn’t in the part of it that generates biathlon champions.

          I live near a couple biathlon ranges/Nordic ski areas in rural America. The fat gun guys do not ski. But the skiers sometimes shoot, problem is mountain biking is more fun in the off season

            No more snow reliably, where I leave in France. Breaks my fucking heart.
            I’m more of an alpine skier (whatever it’s called in English, sorry), but I’d love to give biathlon a try cause it sure adds a bit of fun to the whole running around on skis :)

        Which is weird because in biathlon you shoot at black targets. Seems like the not-so-native Americans would excel at it
