Dave D'Alessandro is biathlon's newest fan. He trudged through the snow to the Olympic venue Tuesday in hopes of engaging the head of the Russian Biathlon Union in conversation...about the Nets. He admits he got nothing. Mikhail Prokhorov said he couldn't talk about the NBA until he's approved as owner. How does he think he'll do as an owner? "I feel," he said, "quite adequate."
