On March 12, 2025, Ntala Quintillo, provincial coach and Outreach Coordinator with Biathlon Alberta, will visit Phys Ed classes to promote biathlon and safe sport training. Biathlon, a winter sport combining cross – country skiing and rifle shooting, has competitors racing through trails divided into shooting rounds. BCHS Phys Ed students safely learn about and practice with optical rifles and smart targets that are 100% electronic with no projectile.
Team Alberta’s biathlon athletes compete in the Alberta Winter Games. Biathlon Alberta is the governing body for the Olympic winter sport of biathlon in the province of Alberta. The mission of Biathlon Alberta is to promote, develop and administer biathlon to the highest standard of excellence.
