Biathlon - Art History Online Reference and Guide Two common variations on biathlon are summer biathlon, where skiing is replaced by a cross-country run, and archery biathlon, where the rifle is replaced by a longbow. Called military patrol, the combination of skiing and shooting was demonstrated at the Olympic Winter Games in 1924, 1928, 1936 and 1948, but did not gain Olympic recognition then, as the small number of competing countries disagreed on the rules (see also Governing body, below). Contrary to the Olympics and World Championships (BWCH), the World Cup (BWC) is an entire winter season of (mostly) weekly races, where the medalists are those with the highest sums of World Cup points at the end of the season. www.arthistoryclub.com /art_history/Biathlon   (100 words)

Common Characteristics Of Successful Endurance Programs Athletes in biathlon and cross country skiing who are successful on the World Cup circuit have in common a four-to-six-year period of systematic training. The scientific evidence of Saltin and Ingjer appears to support the anecdotal data of medal- winning athletes in running, cross country skiing, and biathlon that the childhood period is filled with participation in a wide variety of sports and a large amount of physical activity. These data from elite cross country skiers and distance runners demonstrate that a large amount of training volume coupled with cyclical variations in training intensity during late adolescence are the primary factors for the continued increase in VO values that are necessary to be internationally successful. www.coachr.org /common_characteristics_of_succes   (100 words)

United States Olympic Committee - Young skiers say they gain edge by choosing cross-country style Pat Weaver, the Lenox native who was part of two Olympic Nordic teams in the 1990s, gave his sport a boost locally for almost a decade, but the sport of cross-country skiing continues to lag behind its mountain counterpart in terms of public awareness. Wahconah Regional sophomore Joel Kropinski, whose glasses were caked with ice during the interview, said he ran cross country in the fall and hoped to be able to improve his running times by competing as a Nordic skier.

Amazon.com: DVD: Fundamentals of Cross Country Skiing Technique with High Velocity Skiing and Biathlon Meloche and McMahon are a bona fide, dynamic duo whose mission in life is to take the standard wool-knickered, walk-in-the-woods granola image of cross country skiing, a sport often grouped with hiking and carriage riding, and drag it, screaming and kicking if necessary, into a new realm. With some good tunes and great action shots, I would compare `High Velocity' to an extreme skiing video version of Cross Country skiing. The Banff Film Festival finalist, High Velocity, an earlier effort in which McMahon used the film noire genre and a cast of Olympians to search for skiing?s true soul, does for cross country what the 1950s film "Let's Go Skiing with Warren Miller" did for alpine skiing. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0968566650?v=glance   (100 words)

Crested Butte Hotels - Discounts on Accommodations and Lodging in Crested Butte In skiing and snowboarding circles the Butte is best known for its extreme terrain, with lifts serving out-of-the-way bowls and faces that would only be accessible by helicopter at other resorts. However, the development of 11,875ft Mount Crested Butte into a world-class ski resort in the 1960s, and a mountain-bikers' paradise two decades later, means that today it can claim to be the best year-round resort in Colorado. The old town is resplendent with gaily painted clapboard homes and businesses, and zoning laws ensure that condos and chalets are confined to the resort area, tucked behind the foothills three miles up the road. www.crested-butte-lodging.com   (100 words)
