The armless biathlete! 🎿 Josef Giesen competed for many years as a Para Biathlete, and used a unique technique when at the shooting range. Born without arms, Giesen uses his finger on his left side to pull a ring attached to the trigger to release. Using his chin, he reloads and readjusts the rifle into place. Watch closely and you can see this in action. He won silver medal in the 7.5km in this race at Torino 2006, and followed with bronze in 12.5km at Vancouver. This footage is from the last time we were in Italy for the Winter Paralympics, Torino 2006! #Paralympics #WinterParalympics #ParaBiathlon #Biathlon
