Fog delays men's 15km mass start biathlon again

By , Reporter
The men's 15km mass start biathlon is delayed for a third time because of fog at the Lara Cross-Country Ski & Biathlon Centre.

The men's 15km mass start biathlon was delayed for a third time because of the weather conditions in Sochi this morning.

The event had initially been scheduled for Sunday, but fog prevented competitors from taking to the course at the weekend or yesterday.

The biathlon had been due to start at 10.30am UK time, but was pushed back by 15 minutes, before finally getting underway just before 11am.

Frenchman Martin Fourcade is looking for his third gold of this Games, while Ole Einar Bjoerndalen could secure his 13th career medal.
