Canada’s Pascale Paradis was recently appointed as a BIU integrity ambassador, joining existing ambassadors USA’s Chloe Levins and Slovenia’s Lovro Planko.
Pascale joined us in our latest podcast interview to discuss her role as an ambassador, and what integrity means to her.
Beginning with her introduction to biathlon through her parents’ love of sport, and skiing in particular, Pascale discussed her reasons for wanting to move on to become an Integrity Ambassador, in what will be just her second year on the IBU World Cup circuit.
She also explained how she thinks she can make a difference as a BIU Ambassador, by acting as a link between the BIU and athletes, and underlined the need for continuing vigilance in response to those that might protest that biathlon has no doping or integrity problems.
Pascale ended the interview with the following message to her fellow biathletes: “Let’s look out for each other. Sport is really hard and the pressure can be really intense, but I think we’re stronger when we support each other”.
