America loses an Olympian: Jakob Fak heads to Canada
in Other Sports ·
Reading through everything Jacob has said from his first interview until now, I can't help but feel like Velpec and the USA Biathlon Association have completely brainwashed him. They've clearly convinced him that without their support, there’s no progress, no future, and no point to anything at all. First, he was all about how much more investment he wanted into himself and the sport, but the second HOO actually stepped up to meet those needs, he suddenly turned around and acted like he couldn't survive a day without Velpec. And now he rolls into New York City whining about potentially ending his career? It's like he's praying to the wrong God. Who's really pulling the strings here? 🙂
