March 22, 2015 (Canmore, AB) – SkiTrax caught up with Chris Lindsay High Performance Director at Biathlon Canada yesterday for his take on Nathan Smith’s World Cup gold and incredible season. In fact the team has had a great season overall with personal bests for Smith, Brendan Green, Rosanna Crawford, Megan Heinicke and Scott Gow. Jean-Philippe Le Guellec is the only other Canadian male to reach the World Cup podium and Smith eclipsed Le Guellec becoming the first Canadian male to win a silver medal at the Biathlon worlds. Two-time Olympic champion, Myriam Bedard, is the only other Canadian to medal at both the Biathlon World Championships and the World Cup. According to Lindsay, “We have a team that is pushing all our athletes to ever increasing success. Nathan is the first one to have made the big break but we will see success from even more athletes in the following seasons. That’s by design.”
