Bitter Alberta cold throws a wrench in World Cup biathlon in Canmore
CANMORE, Alta. — Frigid Alberta temperatures forced the reshuffling and shortening of races at a biathlon World Cup in Canmore, Alta.
Thursday’s men’s and women’s race distances have been trimmed. Weekend races have been moved up a day in hopes of catching a temperature break.
Canmore is hosting a biathlon World Cup for just the second time after a first in 2016, drawing 200 athletes from 24 countries.
