Canadian Derek Zaplotinsky just misses podium, finishes fourth in men's sit-ski race at Para Biathlon World Championships
The 34-year-old American sit-skier made a triumphant return to Prince George Wednesday on opening day at the Para Biathlon World Championships, claiming gold in 7.5-kilometre event on a cold blustery morning at Otway Nordic Centre.
“Leading up I could not clean a target or a race in Italy to save my life, so this is a huge shock and a good reminder I know how to do it,” she said. “I just have to trust the process.” “It was really fun, I love seeing Anja on there ,” said Masters. “If I could be like any biathlete I’d want to be here. She’s just an incredible athlete and her demeanour and approach to biathlon is always calm cool and collected, never frazzled. I’ve been racing with her since I started so she was that athlete I looked up to a lot.”
Masters was a double-gold medalist in biathlon and also won gold in cross-country skiing at the 2022 Paralympic Games in Beijing. She’s won 17 Paralympic medals, having also competed in rowing and cycling.
