History in the Making...

I have always been a fan of the Biathlon. Its similar to a marathon, except the conditions are far more fierce. You have to deal with the harsh climate, not to mention all of the equipment you have to carry around. It takes real nerves of steel to get through one. This time around all eyes are on amateur superstar Ole Einar Bjorndalen. The 35 year old biathlete from Norway has already won 5 gold medals. He picked up a gold in the 1998 games and another 4 at Salt Lake in 2002. In fact, no biathlete has won more Olympic gold medals in history! For the upcoming games look for Bjorndalen to battle it out with Evgeny Ustyugov of Russia and fellow compatriot Emil Hegle Svendsen. It should be a battle for the ages...
