Brendan Green Nominated to Olympic Team
Official Announcement Scheduled for Jan. 28
News Release: Jan 5, 2010
Biathlon Canada has formally submitted the list of athletes nominated for the Olympic Biathlon Teams to the Canadian Olympic Committee today. For the first time since the 1992 games in Albertville, the men will enter an Olympic Relay team. The team is unofficial until such time as any appeals are processed, and the selections are approved by the COC. The official announcement has been scheduled for Jan.28.
N.W.T. Biathlon is proud to announce that Hay River biathlete Brendan Green has been nominated to this team. Now in his second season with the Senior Team, he succeeded in meeting the Olympic criteria by performing well in a number of individual World Cup events over the past 12 months. Brendan completed 9 races in Sweden, Austria and Slovenia in this season’s first set of World Cup Races in December. In 7 of the 9 races, he was ranked 2nd on the Canadian team.
The team will also include veteran Olympians Robin Clegg, (Ottawa) and Jean Philippe Leguellec, (Shannon Que.) along with Marc-Andre Bedard, (Valcartier Que.) Recently turned 23, Brendan is the youngest member of a youthful team which holds the promise of ushering in a new era for Canadian Men’s Biathlon. Products of an ambitious 10 year development program directed by Biathlon Canada, the three youngest team members have all been medalists at World Junior and Youth Championships in recent years. This input of youthful talent helped propel the Canadian men to their best ever relay result last year with a 7th place finish in Hochfilzen, AUT. Canada’s best ever Olympic result for the men’s relay was a 10th place finish in Albertville.
As part of the team’s Olympic preparation, they will soon leave for Rupolding GER to take part in World Cup 5 Jan 13-17, followed by World Cup 6 in Antholz ITA Jan. 20-24. The World Cup races can be viewed through live streaming on the Biathlon World website at http://www.biathlonworld.com/en/.

To the biathlon parents and support crew - Glaicar, Lirette, Magtibay, Ring, Hachey - congratulations on a very successful trials weekend! Support in the range for all the out of town teams was terrific, the snacks for athletes were a big hit and your tireless example once again amazed all as you added a fundraising bingo to the weekend's schedule - wow.
