This year, the Biathlon is one of the most anticipated events of the winter Olympics. We will see the best teams of men and women worldwide competing for one glory.
This combination of cross country skiing and rifle shooting remains the only debut game in which team USA has not reached the podium.
Hence, this year Team USA is sending eight of its best players to bring the gold home.
The #Packers are showing love for some members of the @USBiathlon team– including Paul Schommer from Kimberly and Deedra Irwin of Pulaski #GoPackGo https://t.co/1aG7LQmR14
