Yesterday the Victorian Rollerski/Skike Championships were held in pleasant autumn weather at Lake Mountain Alpine Resort.
Forty competitors enjoyed the warm morning in either the 4 km or 10 km up the road among the glorious mountain ash forest, and included participants from RUS, SWE and the UK, as well as members of the Victorian Junior Cross Country Squad. Participants made their way up the hill on either rollerskis, Skikes or rollerblades.
Organiser was, once again, Andrew Paul, Australia’s first Olympian in Biathlon.
Youngest participants were regular laser biathlon attendees Christian Mahon and Gordon Mann, who tackled the 4 km up the hill. Winner of the 10 km Men event was biathlete Greg Kazantcev. Other biathletes participating included Dion Richardson, Henrik Forsberg, Jethro Mahon, Robert Catto-Smith and Hamish McLean.
After the event, Hamish McLean and Giles Richardson ran a Come & Try laser biathlon event, which was much enjoyed by all.
