KRASNAYA POLYANA, RUSSIA—Jean-Philippe Le Guellec of Shannon, Que., finished fifth in the men’s 10-kilometre biathlon sprint at the Sochi Olympics on Saturday.
He was 9.7 seconds behind Norweigian star Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, who won in 24 minute,s 33.5 seconds. Bjoerndalen missed one target, while Le Guellec shot clean.
Le Guellec will have two more shots in Sochi as he competes in the 12.5-kilometre pursuit and the 15-kilometre mass start.
Myriam Bedard is the last Canadian to win an Olympic biathlon medal, taking double gold at the 1994 Games in Lillehammer.
Canada has never reached the Olympic men’s biathlon podium.
Dominik Landertinger of Austria finished 1.3 seconds behind Bjoerndalen to take silver, and Jaroslav Soukup of the Czech Republic won bronze.

I was so ticked when I glimpsed Canadian women's hockey team was on ice (after I had watched a weather forecast and channel surfed) and I had to go out this morning! Definitely the team to watch over men's! Made do with some figure skating (women's) viewing during lunch at McDonald's today.

Hope the Canadian women's hockey team get's goldQuote:

No, not Canadian. But hearing that a lot of chatter about them on social media.

Seems like the fix is in for the figure skating. :(

Someone sent me a link to the US bobsledder's busted bathroom door story after he broke out of the locked bathroom. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headline...bathroom-door/
The photo seems to show that the door is made of cardboard? What building code regulation is that? A story waiting to be told, right after the journalists catch up on the toilet stories-why one cannot flush the paper down the throne.
UK bobsledder almost went into an elevator shaft:
