Whistler, B.C. - Prince George biathlete, Megan Tandy, has had a strong showing in her Olympic debut...

Tandy finished the Women's 7.5-km sprint in 46th place, out of 88 competitors taking part in the race. (click here for the official race results)

The 21-year-old was the first Canadian woman to cross the finish line and the only one to qualify for Tuesday morning's 10-km Pursuit.

Teammate, Zina Kocher, came in 65th, while Rosanna Crawford was 72nd, and Megan Imrie placed 76th. Only the top 60 qualify move on.

The start of the 10-km is staggered, based on today's finishes, meaning Tandy will begin Tuesday morning's race in 46th spot.
