The Mary Beth Miller Biathlon Centre at the Yellowknife Ski Club was the site for the third series of Polar Cup races on April 2.
The majority of competitors hailed from the capital and several more were expected to make the trip in from Hay River but five of the seven that were scheduled to head up Highway 3 tested positive for Covid-19 and had to go into isolation.
Along with the biathletes, the event had some Olympic flair as Brendan Green and his partner, Rosanna Crawford SA¹ú¼ÊÓ°ÊÓ´«Ã½” both three-time Winter Olympians SA¹ú¼ÊÓ°ÊÓ´«Ã½” were in attendance to lend a hand with timing for the day.
