<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 18, 2010) This afternoon in Vancouver, North Country biathletes Lowell Bailey and Tim Burke could have their best shot at winning an Olympic medal when they compete in the 20 kilometer individual race.  Bailey, from Lake Placid, and Burke, from Paul Smiths, have been friends and training partners since they were little boys.  They raced together at the Torino Winter Games in 2006. Both men sat down with their former coach, Kris Cheney Seymour from Saranac Lake, to talk about their lives and their careers.  Their conversation, recorded in 2008 as part of the national StoryCorps project, offered an intimate and personal look at what it means to spend decades chasing an Olympic dream.

<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 20, 2006) America&apos;s sled teams struggled again over the weekend in Turin, Italy.  The two-man bobsled combination of Todd Hayes and Pavle Jovanovic finished seventh in Olympic competition, despite being favored for a gold medal. In a prepared statement, Hayes said he didn&apos;t &quot;feel real good about it&quot;. Team officials based in Lake Placid say heavy snow made track conditions difficult. On Saturday, two Adirondack biathlon racers from Lake Placid and Paul Smiths competed in the 12.5 kilometer ski-and-shoot competition.  Our correspondent Nancie Battaglia was at the track in the Alps and spoke with Brian Mann.
