You don't get a rest before shooting. There's nowhere to take a break. People on TV will see it as a dinky little downhill before the shooting and think, 'Well, it's easy.' But you've just climbed up a kilometer up to there and you're totally wiped out by the time you get to the point. -James Upham

Very rarely are they separated. Usually at the beginning of the training we do a couple of shootings separated so that gets them in their own rhythm and I can see all the shots. But then they work together the rest of the workout. They ski together, shoot together, test the skis together.

I don't think they have an answer. They worked really hard the next day and he shot fine and there was nothing wrong with his rifle.

You medal is that far away. Half a bullet tip away.
