These guys and gals are shooting inside a fully enclosed soccer stadium. At one point they describe the panels they placed to allow the spectators to see, and yet contain all the stray bullets. Fascinating.

Then they tell how one of the stars was retiring at age 29 because she had been making 100,000 Euro a year. I've always like Biathlon, but had no idea it was a big money sport like that.

Awesome. I think biathalon is one of the most under-appreciated events in the Olympics, and has a cool history. It's just not one of those sports that translates into 'excitement' on TV, so I think a lot people don't really get how challenging and impressive it actually is.
