BEIJING (AFP) – As Olympic preparations go, it takes some beating.

United States (US) biathlete Leif Nordgren watched his wife give birth to their first child via video call from the Beijing Games the day before his first race, after being apart from her since mid-November.

His wife’s due date was initially February 4, the day of the opening ceremony.
