Ce fut une super séance de photos avec ces deux merveilleux athlètes du CNEPH, Olivier Léveillé et Liliane Gagnon.
Nous leur avons surtout demandé de prendre des poses reflétant leur détermination mais la séance, qui a duré plusieurs heures, s’est déroulée dans l’enthousiasme… et l’humour!
Le photographe Denis Harbour, assisté de Mario Walker, a capté leurs personnalités attachantes.

The International Ski Federation (FIS) is due to make a final decision this Friday on the ban of fluorinated ski waxes starting right this season.
While many stakeholders agree in principle with the fluoro ban announced last November, a lot of them believe the decision was taken too quickly. According to them, there are too few detector testing devices to find cheaters at all levels and they find them not yet completely reliable.
Also, what is (or will be) the impact of this ban on Canadian teams?

Cendrine Browne is fulfilling her dream to represent Canada at the Olympics. It’s an emotional moment for any athlete who sees all the efforts and sacrifices rewarded.
With a thought for all those who have worked just as hard and whose dream remain whole… for now.

Behind those eyes, a thought for Rich Boruta.
Zina Kocher, one of Canada’s top biathletes for years, came out of retirement in tribute to Rich Boruta, her long time biathlon coach who died tragically in a climbing accident at the age of 49. He was urging her to try to qualify for the 2018 Olympics in xc-skiing.
Zina finished 7th in the skiathlon Monday, virtually ending her chances to do so. Inside her head, somewhere, his characteristic Czech voice was resounding…
Unforgettable.
Both of them.

Olivia Bouffard-Nesbitt had overcome so many hurdles to get there you couldn’t even count them on both hands.
Pressure is mounting towards January’s Olympic Trials at Mont Sainte-Anne. Here the top 6 women in the recent mini-tour in Rossland.
Cross-Country Canada issued an amendment Tuesday to the selection procedures for the Canadian Olympic team that will compete at the Pyeongchang Games in February.
We got some clarification.

Zina Kocher had a very encouraging day Saturday at the Rossland Haywood NorAms. It’s not only her third place in the Sr Women’s Sprint, it’s the way she’s showing improvement.

Zina Kocher took a lot of people by surprise when she recently announced that she was making a comeback to try to qualify for the Pyeongchang Olympic Games next February.
Does she really have a chance to make it?
Léo Grandbois (photo: pierre shanks)
Shooting Star would have been an obvious title. But Deep Purple’s classic hit is more appropriate for Léo Grandbois, one of Biathlon Canada’s most promising athletes, and his “race it to the ground” personality.
We were told about Léo a while back. The Youth Biathlon World Championships were approaching and Léo, a rugged 17 yo from Sherbrooke, QC (6′-180 lb), had just won some home races. Confidence reigned in the Canadian clan.
Revoyez à l’oeuvre le meilleur fondeur canadien de l’histoire, qui est en voie de connaître la meilleure saison de sa carrière.

It’s not exactly obvious to find its way through CCC’s World Championships selection process in the ongoing US Nationals in Utah.
As we know, those US Nationals are used as the Canadian World Junior/U23 and Senior Championship trials.
The criterias make so that final decisions won’t be made before the last races on Thursday.
