Another upset in Biathlon. Ninth place starter comes from behind to win Women's Pursuit.

Marksmanship, or lack thereof, hurt the US team badly. Susan Dunklee noted that she had a momentary lapse of concentration going into the fourth shoot and then missed three targets for a total of four. It would have been close but that may have cost her the Bronze. The medalists each missed only one target.

There are a number of lessons to be learned from the Olympians. They didn't get where they are by whistling Dixie.
