	TIP-TOP FUELLING FOR WINTER
		Whether you’re heading off for the slopes or just tolerating the British winter it is important to eat a varied and balanced diet.
		It is wise to keep up a good intake of fruit and vegetables over the winter months, particularly because some may not contain as good a source of vitamins as they do during the summer months.
		It’s tempting to think that you need less fluid in the winter compared with warm summer days, but even in the cold weather you need to remember to keep up your fluid intake.

		Now, although there are only 14 sports at the winter Olympics, I'm pretty sure that I don't want to rate all of them at one time.
		It was first an Olympic sport as the accurately named Military Ski Patrol but went away for a stint after World War II to be replaced with Winter Pentathlon, which included downhill racing, fencing, and horseback riding in addition to the shooting and cross-country skiing, hopefully not all together as biathlon is now.
		But when biathlon came back for 1960, and when they made it more civilian-friendly by reducing target distance and switching to lighter.22 caliber rifles (although one looks forward to the day when extreme biathlon becomes popular — I'm envisioning snowboarders with rocket launchers) it became more popular, and women started competing.

	EdGate Summer Games
		The presumption is that modern pentathlon is called “modern” because Baron de Coubertin, who conceived of the first modern Olympics in 1896, also developed the first Olympic pentathlon and introduced it to the Games in 1912.
		To do that, he drew on the past, emphasizing the skills theoretically required of army couriers for survival and success in times of war in the early 1800s.
		The basic premise behind the modern pentathlon is that a soldier is ordered to deliver a message.

	CBC.CA - Torino 2006
		Considered one of the most gruelling winter sports, biathlon comes from the Greek word meaning "two contests" because it is a combination of freestyle cross-country skiing and small-bore rifle marksmanship.
		An early form of biathlon known as the "military ski patrol" was included in the 1924 Chamonix Winter Games and was contested as a medal sport in 1928, 1936 and 1948.
		In 1948, it was discontinued due to anti-war sentiment, and a new version called the Winter Pentathlon was introduced at the St. Moritz Olympics that year as a demonstration sport.
