| US Biathlon Team in Lake Placid |
| “The Americans probably travel the most of any teams, along with the Canadians” explained US Biathlon Coach Per Nilsson. Last year the US team had a seven-week-long training camp in Europe followed by three weeks of training in Utah right. The athletes were far from home for most of the year. However, the approach this year is different. As most of the team members come from the northeastern USA, many of them can actually stay at home during the first training camp for the team, which took place in Lake Placid, New York. Tanja Ohlson visited the team in Lake Placid, during a recent, private, trip to the US. |
