Episode 18 - Patience, Persistence and Perspiration (Biathlon Backstories 2)

Welcome to the second in our out-of-season Biathlon Backstories - in which we explore great races and moments from the history of biathlon. This episode, we go back to January 2002 to watch the World Cup Women's Pursuit from Oberhof. A chance to reminisce over names like Forsberg, Disl, Zubrilova and Poiree - or to meet them for the very first time... This episode is based on a video of the race which you can find at https://tinyurl.com/biathlon2002 or by searching 'women's pursuit oberhof 2002' on YouTube. The video was originally broadcast by Eurosport. You can find a transcript at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AyUzVmDYZ41Nki2np3uUGClRf0Eppx25/view?usp=share_link
