In one of her final tune-up races before she heads to Pyeongchang, South Korea for the Olympic Games, Sarah Beaudry of Prince George teamed up with Carsen Campbell of Bedeque, P.E.I., to finish eighth out of 24 in the IBU Cup biathlon single mixed relay.
The 23-year-old Canadians finished 63.6 seconds behind the gold medalists from Norway, Thelke Brun-Le and Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen, who clocked 35:39.6 on the course in Ridnaun-Val Ridanna, Italy.
France (Julia Simon/Emilien Jacquelin) took silver and the United States (Susan Dunklee/Lowell Bailey) won bronze.
Beaudry and her fellow Canadians on the senior team will follow the IBU Cup tour to Martell-Val Martell, Italy for sprint and pursuit events Friday and Saturday.
