Biography

Mon nom est Audrey Vaillancourt et je fais partie de l’équipe canadienne de biathlon, un sport d’hiver captivant qui allie le ski de fond au tir à la carabine. Originaire de la ville de Québec, j’ai été initiée au ski de fond à l’âge de 6 ans. Quelques années plus tard, suivant les traces de mes deux grands frères, François et Maxime, je me suis tournée vers le biathlon. C’est ainsi qu’à 12 ans, j’ai eu un véritable coup de foudre pour ce sport complexe qui était un tout nouveau défi pour moi! Atteindre cinq cibles pas plus grosses qu’une orange avec le cœur qui bat la chamade, ça demande une finesse qui contraste grandement avec l’effort physique intense lié au ski de fond. Cette combinaison est selon moi ce qui fait toute la beauté de mon sport.

Vous l’aurez deviné; le biathlon, c’est ma PASSION. Laissez-moi à présent vous parler du RÊVE…

Il y a trois ans de cela, j’ai vécu ma première année sur l’équipe nationale sénior. C’était mon premier hiver entièrement passé en Europe, à me mesurer aux meilleures au monde sur les circuits de la Coupe IBU et de la Coupe du monde. Ce fut une expérience à la fois extraordinaire et terrifiante : le calibre extrêmement relevé, les foules de 30 000 personnes, les compétitions télévisées… J’ai pris énormément d’expérience cette année là, ce qui m’a permis de revenir l’hiver suivant un peu plus en confiance. Or, c’était déjà l’année Olympique! Je souhaitais évidemment me classer pour les Jeux de Sotchi, tout en étant consciente que c’était très tôt dans ma carrière. Finalement, je suis passée tout près (cinquième, alors que l’équipe comportait quatre femmes), mais ma déception ne m’a pas empêchée d’obtenir mon meilleur résultat en carrière le même hiver : l’or au Championnat européen de Nove Mesto, en République Tchèque. Un premier titre international qui m’a donné des ailes, en plus de me convaincre que l’aventure jusqu’aux Jeux de 2018 en valait la peine!

My name is Audrey Vaillancourt and I am a member of the Canadian Biathlon National Team. Born in Quebec City, I started cross-country skiing at the age of six. A few years later, following the tracks of my two older brothers, François and Maxime, I tried biathlon and immediately fell in love with the sport. At 12 years old, I discovered how challenging it was to aim at a target – no bigger than an orange! – with your hearth still racing from skiing as fast as you can. To me, this combination is what makes it such an amazing sport.

That’s right – biathlon is my PASSION. Now let me introduce you to my DREAM…

My first season on the Senior National Team was three years ago. I spent the entire winter in Europe, racing on the IBU Cup and World Cup against the best biathletes in the world. The experience was exciting, yet terrifying: very high level of competition, crowds of 30 000 people, races shown on TV… I gained a lot of experience that year, which allowed me to show up on the start line with a little more confidence the following winter. It was, however, already an Olympic year! Of course I wanted to qualify for the Sochi Olympics, but I was also aware of how early that was in my career. In the end, I qualified as the spare woman (so close!), but my disappointment did not stop me from obtaining my career-best result that same winter: gold at European Championships in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic. Winning my first international title gave me the motivation I needed to keep going and reminded me that the journey to the 2018 Olympics was definitely worth it!
