Biathlon skier Campbell Wright (Wānaka, 19) delivers one of the best performances of his career in his Olympic debut tonight in the Men’s 20km Individual race.

At just 19 years old Wright is the youngest competitor in the field and proved tonight that he’s right there in the mix with the world’s best.                        

He finished in 32nd place (out of 92 competitors), just +4:12.4 behind the winner. He shot fantastically on the range, hitting 18/20 targets.

“That was the 2nd best score I’ve shot in an individual - today was a good day!” explained Wright excitedly after his race.

His coach Luca Bormolini mirrored the sentiment, proudly explaining that this is one of the best races Wright has delivered, both in speed and shooting accuracy. 

Wright is in action a further two more times during the Winter Olympics in the Men’s 10km Sprint on the 12th of February and the Men’s 12.5km Pursuit on the 13th of February.
