var dontdrawzonew="1"; Biathlete Bjoerndalen boasts boatload of gold By MARK LONG, Associated Press Three-time defending Olympic champion Germany won the silver and France took the bronze. Only two others have won four gold medals in one Winter Olympics: American speedskater Eric Heiden and Russian speedskater Lydia Skoblikova. Heiden won five at the 1980 Lake Placid Games; Skoblikova won four at the 1964 Innsbruck Games. "This is very special," Bjoerndalen said. Bjoerndalen swept the biathlon events here, winning three individual events and then the team relay. He could have gone for a fifth gold in the 50K cross-country race Saturday, but decided to skip the event. The Norwegians - Halvard Hanevold, Frode Andresen, Egil Gjelland and Bjoerndalen - covered the Soldier Hollow course in 1 hour, 23 minutes, 42.3 seconds. Germany was 45.3 seconds behind. As Bjoerndalen crossed the finish line, he screamed loudly while repeatedly pumping both poles into the air as Norwegian flags waved all around through the falling snow. His teammates quickly greeted him with hugs, then Gjelland picked him up and put him on his shoulders for a victory ride.

- 30-Second History Timeline Full History 30-Second History Biathlon is one of the oldest Olympic sports. It can trace its origins to 3000 BC when early hunters used skis to travel across snow and ice. The modern birth of biathlon has military ties because northern European soldiers used cross-country skis to patrol borders. The first-ever biathlon competitions were organized by Norwegian military units. Biathlon appeared as an Olympic demonstration sport four times, but debuted as a full-medal sport in 1960. Women's biathlon was added in 1992. Timeline ~3000 BC Early hunters used cross-country skis to travel across snow and ice while hunting with bow and arrow. 1700 AD Cross-country soldiers were used in the Great Scandinavian War that lasted until 1718. The first recorded biathlon race was organized by Norwegian soldiers. The first rifle and ski club was founded to assist in the development of military ski patrols. Biathlon was held as a demonstration sport under the name "military patrol" at the Olympic Winter Games in Chamonix, France. The renamed event "biathlon" first appeared as an official International Olympic Committee sport.

Danny Kass (USA) took the silver and Jarret "J.J." Thomas won bronze as the trio completed the first USA medals sweep in any sport at an Olympic Winter Games since men's figure skating in 1956. The fourth American competitor, Tommy Czeschin, finished sixth. Ironically, it was Czeschin who set the pace for the Americans during qualifying, posting the second-highest score behind 2001 world junior champion Heikki Sorsa (FIN) on the first run. But after a lackluster first-run performance, his teammates managed to regroup and charge through the second run of qualifying, posting the top three scores in that round and earning their shot at the medals round. Powers soared above the field on his first run in the finals, linking back-to-back McTwists and adding a spectacular Cab cork-720 to impress the judges. The score stood up through the second round as neither Sorsa nor the remainder of the field could approach it. Sorsa finished seventh.

When Jamie Sale / David Pelletier (CAN) delivered the free skating performance of their career only to come up on the short end of a 5-4 split of the judging panel to Russia's Elena Berezhnaya / Anton Sikharulidze for the gold medal, official and unofficial protests rained down on the judges and the International Skating Union (ISU). Within hours of the announced result, a story began surfacing involving the swapping of judging favors that threatened to taint the outcome of the ice dancing competition to begin later that week. Within days, the ISU acknowledged that it had seen enough evidence in the matter to recommend that the International Olympic Committee award an unprecedented second gold medal to the Canadians. Alexei Yagudin continued a golden streak of the Russian men that dates back to 1992.

When Antwerp, Belgium, hosted the 1920 Olympics after World War II, there was competition in both ice hockey and figure skating. Those sports could, of course, be conducted in rinks during the Summer Games. But other winter sports that were becoming popular in Northern Europe and the Alpine regions, such as skiing and bobsledding, obviously had to stay outdoors. After 1920, national governing bodies for such sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics. Top of Page 1924: Chamonix, France The town of Chamonix, in the French Alps, planned a winter sports festival in 1924, when Paris was to host the Olympics. The Marquis de Polignac, a member of the International Olympic Committee, proposed to the IOC that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games. Another Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, was opposed to the idea. However, the IOC agreed that Chamonix could call its festival a "Olympic winter carnival."
