Para Nordic World Cup win guarantees Prince Edward Islander his second FIS Crystal Globe
As the jackrabbit everybody was chasing Wednesday on the course at Otway Nordic Centre, Canada’s Mark Arendz earned the privilege of wearing the orange bib that designates the points leader in the Para Nordic World Cup biathlon standings.
On a brilliant sunny and warm day on the slopes, Arendz made up for his one missed target and was perfect on the next three trips into the range, shooting 19-for-20 in the race while clocking 27:42.0. “To win a Globe at home is something not all athletes get to do and I’m really lucky to be able to do that here today,” said Arendz.
After two gold and two silver last week in the Para Biathlon World Championships, despite four misses on the range on Wednesday Liashenko finished the 10 km course in 31:20.9, winning by 17.8 seconds ahead of Ukrainian teammates Bohdana Konashuk and Olexandra Konaschuk .“My goal today was clean shooting so I wasn’t happy with the miss in my first bout but I made extra sure not to miss in any of the following bouts,” said Wilkie.
