I went ahead and purchased the book from Amazon, and it definately has been
revised
since then. Very up to date and appears to be quite in depth. I guessing the one
the USBA
translated was an older version. Does anyone have a source for a translated copy
of the
new version?

the skiing tips were still for classical skiing. The shooting was helpful for a

alot of the book was aimed at an Eastern European coach type trying to identify
which kids
to send to the communist ski academy.
