Evan Bichon (2016)

Snowboarding

Bichon, an elite-calibre snowboarder, represented Canada at the 2016 World Youth Olympics in Norway and finished just off the medal podium in two events. The 17-year-old – who was an alternate this season for World Cup events in Austria, Italy and Germany – placed fourth in individual snowboard cross and then duplicated that result in a mixed-nationality team competition.

In 2015, Bichon was part of Team B.C. for the Canada Winter Games, which were held in Prince George. At the Games, he raced to gold even though he was one of the youngest athletes in the field. Leading up to the Canada Winter Games, Bichon made the national team for the 2015 FIS World Junior Championships in China.
