Canadian Para biathlete Mark Arendz completed a perfect season while capturing the men's overall World Cup title on Wednesday in Prince George, B.C.

The Hartsville, P.E.I., native won the men's 10-kilometre standing race to open the Para Nordic World Cup Finals, posting a time of 27 minutes, 42 seconds at the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club.

Ukraine's Serhii Romaniuk (28:37.5) took silver ahead of Germany's Marco Maier (29:34.5). Arendz claimed his third career Crystal Globe after winning all four Para biathlon races on the World Cup circuit this season.

He also swept all three individual events at the inaugural Para biathlon world championships last week at Caledonia. ''The feeling is fantastic and it is even more amplified today by being at home,'' Arendz said. ''It makes it extra special." The two-time Paralympic biathlon champion missed just one of his 20 shots across four rounds on Wednesday — his first miss of the World Cup season.
