Norway's biathlon legend Ole Einar Bjoerndalen is hoping to finish the Winter Olympics on a high in Friday's men's 4x7.5km relay having had a largely disappointing Games by his own standards.
As the pilot for the USA-1 bobsled, I broke a 62-year gold medal drought when my sled, the 'Night Train" won the Olympic title at the 2010 Vancouver Games. A degenerative eye condition nearly caused me to quit my sport in 2008, but corrective surgery restored my vision to 20-20.
