Biathlon

overview

The origin of biathlon dates back more than 4,000 years when hunters travelled on skis in pursuit of game.

Biathlon combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting in various events. The sport has been on the winter program since its debut at the 1991 Canada Games in Charlottetown.

Many Canada Games alumni have gone on to represent Canada in the Olympics, including Jean-Philippe Le Guellec, Christian Gow, Emma Lunder, Brendan Green and Adam Runnalls.
