Biathlon Fantasy?

Biathlon is the cross country skiing mixed with rifle shooting. But I have to wonder, has a frustrated skier ever taken out the rifle and shot at a competitor’s feet while skiing, or tried to shoot someone in the back as they approached the finish line? You have to figure they’ve all thought about and fantasized about doing it at some point.

(Hey, how about a new freestyle biathlon where there are no targets, and everyone just shoots at each other the whole time? And okay, they get to wear kevlar suits. No? Well, then, maybe paintball biathlon?)
