My mother used to be an Olympian in Biathlon (aka, skiing with shooting) and when she returned to Australia she taught biathlon to others. The people she taught the most were actually army/navy teams, so I'm fairly certain there are some deep roots in the idea of military skiing. Although, to be fair, anyone can get behind biathlon, it's fun as all hell.Rblade said:I'm pretty sure scandanvian armed forces use skies so it's very likely it has an origin therekailus13 said:Video aside, when and why did they decide to combine long-distance skiing and precision rifle shooting?
