Extractions: Biathlon is a dual-skills sport, combining fast skiing with expert marksmanship. In World Cup and Olympic competition, biathlon races are 7.5, 10 and 20 kilometers. Biathletes must complete a certain number of laps around a course, stopping at the shooting range several times during a race, aiming a .22-caliber rifle at five targets the size of silver dollars about 50 meters away.
Extractions: Poiree, whose husband Raphael Poiree shot poorly in the 10-kilometer race earlier in the day and finished ninth, made all five of her shots at the first station, from a prone position. But her third shot of the final round, while standing, was a fraction of an inch off to the top of the black, circular target.

Extractions: HISTORY OF WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES MODERN REVIVAL OF OLYMPIC GAMES Baron de Coubertin, a Frenchman, inspired the Olympic revival. Owing to his great effort the International Olympic Committee was set up on June 23, 1894. To the present day the Committee is the highest governing body of the Olympic Movement. The first international competitions similar to ancient Greek Olympiads were held in the city of Athenes in 1896. They were held in 9 separate sportstrack and field, gymnastics, swimming, weight lifting, wrestling, shooting, fencing, cycling race and tennis. From that time on Olympic Games became a major international event in sports. They were held in many cities of the world, including Moscow /1980/.The Olympic cycle of four years was interrupted only three times: in 1916 because of the First World War and in 1940 and 1944 because of the Second World War.

Extractions: It's not boring; it's a magnificent feat of fitness and endurance Cross-country aficionados bummed over sparse coverage will get their fill of snowy swooshing this year. NBC has staked out over 30 camera positions along busy Soldier Hollow's trails and plans to televise more of the races than ever before. (The relatively action-packed relays air on NBC February 17 and 21.) But the skiing isn't exactly hair-raising, what with its lack of leaping, speeding, and spinning. The sport's want of "wow factor" is offset by its focus on fitness and endurance, says Paul Robbins, a spokesman for the U.S. ski team. Per Elofsson of Sweden, the defending World Cup champ, trains by running through swamps and roller skiing up mountains. Russia, Norway, Finland, and Italy are, with Sweden, on track to repeat past victories. The U.S. team is the strongest since 1984, Robbins says, but the Arctic countries live for this stuff. -Samantha Levine NORDIC COMBINED

Extractions: Have you watched the Olympics on TV or better yet been there to experience it live? Did you ever wondered why the Olympics started? I did! If you want to be on or go to the Olympics, I think you first need to know about it. Why did the games start? At the original Olympics what games did they play? Also what games do they play today? Now, get ready for the world of the Olympics. Have you ever wondered how the Olympics started? In Olympia, Greece the Olympic Games were held every four years. First Olympic game was recorded in 776 BC; that was about 3,000 years ago. At that time this great festival took place to honor the Greek gods. Olympics were held during the great festival. My resources say Olympics were held to please the various gods. One God, in particular, the most important was called Zeus. The Olympics were called Olympiad in Greece. Now we know where the games are held, but we dont know what games they played? In the first thirteen Olympic games, there was only one event and that was the sprint. The sprint event was about one hundred and eight meters in length. Then later Pentathlon was added and it had different events. There was discus, javelin, jumping, running, and wrestling. After a while, they added Equestrian events and that included chariot racing and riding. The Ancient Olympics did have lots of events. They had two major events Equestrian and Pentathlon events.
