Biathlon World Cup in Whistler - Callahan Valley

Since I am so close and there is no cover fee, I decided I have to go. Unfortunately I had to go by myself because everybody had already plans - but I didn't mind. Luckily the German team won!!! Most of the races were during the week. But the women relay was on a Saturday - so the following pictures are from that one race.

On my way to the stadium, I came by this place. They tested the different waxed skis here - was really interesting to see.

 

The start: Germany's team number is the 1.

 

Germany is already leading.

 

Kati Wilhelm started.

 

Second was Magdalena Neuener (no picture of her. Getting ready here is Martina Beck.

The award ceremony. There were actually two ceremonies: The first one for the race itself and the second one for the Cup.
The Cup was actually a German based cup that is also why you see all the German advertisement in the pictures!
