Hi everyone

After really crazy 10 days with two alpine skiing World Cup races, two ski jumping World Cups, six biathlon World Cup races, basketball Euroleague match and volleyball European champions league match, I'm back to normal... at least for week.

Here are few picks from this week (you saw alpine skiing photos already).

First some biathlon.

Very, very nice. I'm curious though... What's framing the eyes of the shooter in #7 ?

Are we seeing her in a reflection or through a sight of some kind? Very intreguing.

It's some kind of magic :mrgreen:
No seriously... some biathletes (actually most of them) has something to cover their sight from sides. This "plate" is glued to rifle diopter, so they can concentrate on shooting easier. It prevents extra light (sometimes you get sun shining straight from side) coming from side, and you don't see your opponent next to you. And Michael Roesch (guy on photo #7) has put his girlfriend's eyes on this. So it's actually photo of his girlfriend, and no magic, reflection or anything else. But it looks really cool.

Here's another one of his photos from last year.

Other's have them blank, or they have something else drawn there.... Like Bjoerndalen's tiger eye:
