I’ve seen the biathalon on American TV, and the pistol, rifle and archery competitions in the summer games.

I watched the biathlon yesterday with the shooting elements. Soon after had to checkout those 22 rifles. Couldn’t believe they ran between 3 and 4 grand.
My little $150 Remington w/scope nails a quarter @ 100 yards no problem every time.

Those 22 rifles hardly make any noise. I want to hear a real bang with visible recoil..

So the solution to the US failures in this event are pretty straightforward: stop eating chicken wings, start drinking vodka.
Problem. Solved.

NBC has ruined the Olympics with their platitudes and idiotic gibberish.

Hey, at least they have ammo.

(s)due to global warming they have intoduced the bikini biathalon(/s)
seriously I am not wasting my time with this NBC coverage. The olympics would be better off using in house commentators that said NOTHING or were as exciting as cspan trained people. (cspan has special “be boring” classes)

NBC forgot about the atlanta games where the athletes actually hijacked the buses because the union drivers did not know where they were going.

They harped on endlessly about the ring not opening while forgetting in Vancouver, they couldn’t even get the Olympic Flame lit.

Hey Norm: That is what I was wondering.
Where the heck are they getting 22 ammo?
To: longtermmemmory
I haven't watched hardly any of this year's coverage. I'm still annoyed over what happened over the past few Winter Olympics.

They certainly aren’t getting it from Russia. They’d have to go from “ski, shoot, ski, shoot” to “ski, shoot, breakdown and clean weapon, ski, shoot ...”
To: 1rudeboy
When biathletes arrived in Sochi, their rifles were taken off their planes and delivered directly to the biathlon venue, which is the only place they can access them. Nor can anyone else. It's called heightened security.
