"The most important thing is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well."
Pierre De Coubertin

Jeremy Teela's 9th place in biathlon was a best ever result for a US Olympian, as was Kikkan Randall and Caitlin Compton's sixth place finish in the team sprint competition.
