In a crowd, Burnaby’s Yimi Huang knows how to stand out. The 759 Falcon Royal Canadian Air cadet proved that point at the national biathlon championships last week in Valcartier, QC, when she picked up a silver medal.
In the mass start competition, Huang was among the crowd when the race began, but crossed the finish line second. Her silver-medal time was 45:31, giving her a chance to represent her province in the flag delegation.
It was just Huang’s second national championships.
A total of 130 young biathletes qualified for the event, held at the Myriam Bedard Biathlon Centre.
Huang was joined by fellow Burnaby athlete Claire Weng at the competition, as the two finished second in B.C.
