Have been watching lots of winter sports on TV. Lately, in one of the biathlon competitions (men), Mr. Lesser started very slowly, as the last one in the competition – but he knew that the others would prepare the ground for him (as it was snowing). Looking at the total distance, he moved forward step by step, paced himself, brilliant in shooting. So he finished finally number one with 0 failures in shooting.
If this has been his strategy – an excellent one indeed.
