Michio Green has been selected to compete in biathlon at the 2021 International University Sports Federation’s Winter Universiade in Lucerne, Switzerland.
The competition will begin Dec. 11 and Green expects to remain in Switzerland for a week and a half. To qualify for the event, he participated in trial races in November and the top four athletes with the highest overall percentages were permitted to attend.
“This is something I have been planning ever since I started attending university,” he said. “It’s something I have always wanted to do. I’m actually really happy because with COVID, it was postponed and I was a little bit worried whether or not it would actually happen, but it looks like it is happening this year so I am excited.”
The Winter Universiade will mark the first time Green has competed in an international event. He would have liked to take part in such an event sooner, but said he was busy attending university and didn’t have the financial resources to do so. Green completed a Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of Alberta during the summer.
