YAHOO! SPORTS tells us that the youngest woman ever to win the biathalon World Cup is 21-year-old German Magdalena Neuner. Why do we care?
Oh, we just like biathalon. Now.
Neuner, the youngest woman to ever win the highest prize of the biathalon season, was Germany’s Sportsperson of 2007, according to WIKIPEDIA, and she’s developed an international following on the web.
She was asked about posing for Playboy (sadly, she said “Nien.”) Unfortunately, her German values and long snow pants may not translate well to an American audience. Meh. Suddenly, I don’t enjoy biathalon so much.

Somebody told me once that deep down, all women are biathletes. At least that’s what I think he said.

She’s an expert target shooter, Brooks. Better watch out!
