On behalf of the members of the 2016 BMW IBU World Cup Biathlon Organizing Committee we welcome you to the City of Presque Isle. We are very excited to host this major biathlon event and the hundreds of athletes, coaches and families it has brought to our northern Maine area.

We know you will be impressed with the trails and facilities at the Nordic Heritage Center. This world-class venue features a 6,500 square foot lodge, 20 kilometers of ski trails, 20 miles of marked mountain bike trails, 2.5 kms of lighted trails, 1 km paved roller ski loop, a 30-point biathlon range, a visitors center with ski

rentals, a Terrain Park, and a wax building with 26 separate wax rooms.

The City of Presque Isle is a community of 10,000 people nestled in the rolling hills of central Aroostook County. Agriculture has been the backbone of the area with the potato as the star crop.

The city has grown into an industrial, intellectual, recreational, and shopping center for the County. We hope you enjoy your stay here and have a chance to enjoy the life “off-venue.” If you have questions about where to go or what to do, ask any of the locals or try this website: www.visitaroostook.com.

Welcome!

Cheer On The Best of The Best

Have you ever wanted to rub elbows with a superstar athlete? The National Football League has its superstars, like Tom Brady. Stephen Curry is one of the top players in the NBA. Sports like these are the main attraction in the United States, but what about the rest of the world? What if Tom Brady was a global phenomenon? Such is the case with the world-class athletes of the most popular winter sport in Europe, biathlon. These athletes are ready to prove they are at the top of their game, and it’s a big deal.Top 10 Men1 FOURCADE Martin FRA2 SHIPULIN Anton RUS3 SCHEMPP Simon GER4 BOE Tarjei NOR5 SVENDSEN Emil Hegle NOR6 GARANICHEV Evgeniy RUS7 EDER Simon AUT8 FILLON MAILLET Quentin FRA9 BOE Johannes Thingnes NOR10 DOLL Benedikt GERTop 10 Women1 SOUKALOVA Gabriela CZE 2 WIERER Dorothea ITA3 DORIN HABERT Marie FRA4 HILDEBRAND Franziska GER 5 MAKARAINEN Kaisa FIN6 DAHLMEIER Laura GER7 PIDHRUSHNA Olena UKR8 VITKOVA Veronika CZE9 ECKHOFF Tiril NOR10 PODCHUFAROVA Olga RUS

Sprint Competition The Sprint is a biathlon race with a very high pace. Men and women compete over a distance of 7.5 to 10 kilometers, skiing three loops and stopping to shoot twice, prone - standing. For each missed target, the biathletes must ski an additional 150-meter penalty loop after exiting the shooting range and before returning to the competition track. The penalty loop takes 20-25 seconds. Each competitor starts individually with a 30 second break between each starter. The results of the sprint competition are not knownwhenthefirstfinishercrossestheline. Race fans watch the scoreboard witheageranticipationaseachfinisher’stime compares to the fastest one thus far. Changing weather conditions on the course and range can create vastly different results for each racer with the intervalstart.Thisraceoftenfindsthefaster skiers excelling, though shooting still remains important.
