Dunklee Deprives Barnes-Colliander of Third Straight Title in Fort Kent

Seven penalties would normally be enough to take a biathlete out of a race. Not Susan Dunklee.

Barnes-Colliander, Simons Win Biathlon Sprint Titles

While Barnes-Colliander...

Shaking off an early miss, as well as the injury she suffered in early January, the Russian-turned-Slovakian won her country’s first Olympic medal in biathlon—and its first-ever gold in the Winter Games—on Saturday in the women’s 7.5k sprint. The announcers characterized Kuzmina’s win as a surprise, but her win comes after...
