 Biathlon: Skiing and shooting
The word biathlon is Greek, meaning "two contests." In this case it's cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Biathlon was originally based upon the need for Northern Europeans to hunt for food.

U.S. Olympic biathlon squad set
Dan Campbell won't be going back to work at Einstein's coffee shop anytime soon. The former University of Utah student and Minnesota resident will be racing in the Olympics come February after narrowly securing the fourth and final spot on the U.S. biathlon team during competitions Thursday. "It feels real good, but it hasn't really sunk in," said Campbell, who is joined on the men's team by top biathletes Jeremy Teela, Jay Hakkinen and Lawton Redman, all of whom were favored to make the team.

Biathlon: 2 sports in one
Eastern Europeans, Germans and Scandinavians tend to dominate in biathlon, but dark-horse Americans have been known to occasionally make their mark in the sport. The United States has continued to see top performances this year by Rachel Steer and Jay Hakkinen, both of Anchorage, Alaska. But it was Jeremy Teela's ninth-place finish in the men's 10-kilometer sprint at the 2001 Biathlon World Championships in Pokljuka, Slovenia, that caught the world by surprise — including Teela.
