Prexis, Frode seams to shoot like shorted shootgun but skiis nearly the
same as Ole-Einar. I've read something about Frode was defending himself
with that he shoots as good as Ole-Einar on training but have trouble
with competition.
Frode does one? good competition every year when he shoots well the rest
is more or less like a menourspreadmachine (sp/word? Swedish:
gödselspridare;-)

The reason why Bjørndalen has not won world cup is because he is not so
reliable in hitting the target through the whole season as Poiree.

That's about right, even though the Bjørndalen brothers might be the
fastest shooters on the circuit. I've seen Ole-Einar demonstrate how it
should be done on NRK:

Pull around/up the gun, open the barrel protector, load, sight+fire x 5
in just about the time I need to get ready for the first shot when I run
a military 'Feltidrett' competition.

That's probably right.

When on top of his form, he's pretty amazing though: Winning by a couple
of minutes or more is _way_ out there.

He doesn't always shoot so well.

It was claimed on the TV that Bjorndalen has a new shooting coach.

All the best, Timo
