What's the point? This is Russia, the winner's already been decided long before the competition even started. And that winner will be Putin on horseback.

THis will be interesting..

which did three laps over rough terrain, shooting at targets shaped like tanks, houses and helicopters. The best time was 5:28.
Traditionally Russian tanks have been extremely mobile, however fire control systems normally were not good enough to accurately hit things while on the move, modern Western tanks while more cumbersome, would hit things more reliably on the move.

This won't be a whitewash.

I know the Biathlon Winter Sport... used to watch it on Eurosport when I was a kid... but I forget how it works for missed shots on target. Was there a time penalty added? confused I guess it will be interesting to know what is the penalty for a missed shot.
