- Title
Where are the Sons of Tell? A Brief History of the Formative Years of Swiss Biathlon, 1957-1964.
- Authors
Sherwood, Robert
- Abstract
The article examines that despite the lack of international success in biathlon, the sport has history in the Swiss Confederation. Topics include reports that in 2010, the Gasparin sisters, along with Benjamin Weger, have helped Switzerland start to realize its potential as a player in the world of biathlon; and considered a mandatory military requirement for Swiss men, abundant snowfall, a tradition of Nordic skiing, and a culture of rifle shooting.
