Canada’s Collin Cameron wins silver at World Para Nordic Skiing Championships
PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — Canada’s Collin Cameron opened the 2019 World Para Nordic Skiing Championships with a silver medal on Saturday.
The 30-year-old from Sudbury, Ont., finished second in the men’s 12.5-kilometre biathlon sit-skiing event for his first-ever world championship hardware, posting a career-best time of 44 minutes 45.5 seconds.
“This feels incredible. It is totally unexpected,” said Cameron. “I put a plan together and just tried to focus on the range this morning, ski my race as well as I can and see what happens.”
Cameron made up considerable time in his five laps up and down the rolling terrain at the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club after missing one shot in three of his four trips to the shooting range.
