“The strength of the team can be seen through Susan Dunklee’s silver medal and the men’s team ranking 6th in the Nations Cup for the first time ever,” said U.S. Biathlon Chief of Sport Bernd Eisenbichler. “Susan, Tim and Lowell are ranked 14th, 15th and 17th, respectively, in the World Cup and Sean Doherty made history with his three medals at the IBU Junior World Championships, becoming the most decorated youth/junior biathlete in the history of the sport. We are already looking forward to exciting competitions next season but, of course, there is a lot of work to do between now and then. That’s where our focus is today.”
