With tears streaming down her rosy wind burnt cheeks, biathlete Emma Lunder warmly hugged teammate Claude Godbout in disbelief at what had just happened.
Lunder, completely exhausted, was amazed to look up and see the scoreboard displaying her name in a second place performance at the International Biathlon Union (IBU) Cup 7 today (Feb. 28) at the Nordic Centre.
“I thought I could put together a decent result, but there was no way I could have expected this,” a teary-eyed Lunder said about her silver-medal performance.
The 24-year-old won Canada’s first medal as she shot clean during the 7.5 kilometre sprint race in 19:51.5. Karolin Horchler of Germany finished five seconds ahead in 19:46.4 and France’s Marine Bolliet claimed bronze in 19:54.4.
