The biathlon
The World Cup Biathlon takes place every year in January, bringing visitors from around the world to Antholz. A six-person television crew settled down in the bar one evening and ordered two bottles of schnapps. One of them proceeded to ceremoniously unpack dried fish and caviar and began distributing these Russian delicacies to his colleagues. Everyone who went into the bar that evening to order a drink wrinkled up his nose and left as quickly as he could – the next morning the house still smelled of fish.
