Two days after posting the best Olympic sprint finish ever for a U.S. female biathlete, Susan Dunklee (pictured, left) almost gave the Americans their first-ever Olympic biathlon medal.
Dunklee finished a historic fourth in the sprint at the last World Cup event before Sochi, but struggled there in the pursuit with a 24th-place finish. No doubt she wants better today.
She may have finished last after falling in the women’s cross-country sprint final, but her sixth-place overall finish is now the best-ever for a U.S. female cross-country skier at the Olympics.
