In Europe the World Cup Biathlon is huge and an estimated 120 million folks around the planet expected to be glued to the tube for the event. Never mind the Super Bowl Sunday this nation enjoys and parties around. Here are some images from today's IBU World Cup Biathlon event as site number seven, Presque Isle Maine in Aroostook County.
