This morning saw the last biathlon event at the Youth Olympic Games in Switzerland, a mixed relay. The results are linked in above.

The Mixed Relay starts with one of two women skiing 6 km each, shooting prone after 2 km with the normal 5 rounds from the magazine, then using up to 3 hand loaded ‘relay rounds’ if needed and doing penalty loops for any remaining targets; then standing after 2 km more, and then tagging off after 2 km more. After the two women, each of the two men on the team go 7.5km with two shooting stages for each one.

Kaisa Bosek, in her 4th race in 5 days, lead off for the US, used 2 extra rounds in prone, shot clean in standing and tagged off in 16th- 2 min behind the leader. From there the US struggled dropping to 18th then back up to 16th with the first boy and ending up in 19th after the last boy, a little over 10 min behind Italy, the winning team. Both boys used all their relay rounds and had a total of 3 penalty loops between them.

Kaisa has also qualified for the US team to the Youth and Junior Championships coming up with the first event on the 26th of January again in Switzerland.
