Come watch me make an idiot of myself as I attempt a biathlon watch along with my dodgy internet, for the Men's Pursuit... I got sick of listening to the main broadcast here Down Under so I'm doing my own tonight. π«£π€£

Exactly the sort of dramatic setting you donβt get in an indoor stadium.
This is what Iβm after. The best stadium in the world.
Cycling/Biathlon/Ice Hockey = much fun!
Awesome π»
Excellent! Though I think I'll be catching it on demand tomorrow... falling... asleep...
Is Darcie Morton representing today? π¦πΊ
I can imagine! Not a lot of biathlon to watch here in Australia π
So jealous! What an experience. One day Iβll get over and watch some biathlon in real life.
French biathlon doing the heavy lifting in the Gold category for their country. Theyβve been exceptional.
Dang⦠I was really looking forward to a mountain finish!

What an incredible victory for Johan-Olav Botn of Norway to win the 20km Men's Individual biathlon event. Some serious competitors at the top end, and he held his nerve at the range to claim gold. Incredible.

And yet...
www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Yep. It's very, very weird.
The attitude towards cyclists on our roads from some people here in Australia is actually quite frightening. A genuine nastiness verging on hatred. No idea why.
Last night there was a vigil for the first cycling fatality of the year on London's streets. I was there. Here are some thoughts (no paywall).
If this strikes a chord with you, please comment on the post and share.

Yeah Buitrago caught my eye with his attacks at Cadel's this year.
I like to think of it as a living organism - it may change at a moment's notice :P
π΄ββοΈ Think my current favourite ten cyclists are:
1. Alison Jackson
2. Maeva Squiban
3. Ben Healy
4. Mathieu van der Poel
5. Puck Pieterse
6. Santiago Buitrago
7. Julian Alaphilippe
8. Pauline Ferrand-PrΓ©vot
9. Elisa Longo Borghini
10. Tobias Lund Andresen
