A highly-respected broadcaster for NBC, Chad comes to us live from the finish stadium at Antholz to share his thoughts on the sport and a preview of the upcoming Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.
A native of Minnesota's Iron Range, Salmela had a strong career as an athlete on the U.S. Biathlon Team, then as a coach with the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minn.
