Previous Pokljuka – Biathlon World Cup Coverage

The biathlon just keeps getting better and better for the Americans lately. Tim Burke upped the ante again with a fantastic seventh place finish in the men’s 15km mass start. Burke might have been a medal winner but two misses on the final round of shooting left him with too much time to make up though he still finished within a minute of the winner. Lowell Bailey had a strong round as well but three misses on the third round, part of four overall, left him 20th overall with 2:10.9 separating him and the winner.

The really good news for the Americans is that this is just the first of three straight weekends with Biathlon World Cup action. Next weekend the action moves to Kontiolahti with sprint events on Thursday and Saturday and a pursuit event on Sunday.
