Nordic Sports Have Their Best Weekend Ever
I am not sure they keep track of these things, as various bodies govern the different disciplines, however I think more nordic world cup points were scored this weekend than ever before! Tim Burke (pictured) finished second in the 20K biathlon and third in the 10K biathlon sprint. Newell placed seventh in the men's sprint, and he teamed with Koos to finish sixth in the sprint relay. Spillane finished fourth and reigning world champion Demong finished eighth in the nordic combined world cup. Finally, our best female sprinter Randall finished 28th earning world cup points despite a fall in that short event. It seems like Team USA is positioning itself for some medals in the Olympics.
