Green is the most experienced member of the men's team, having competed in Vancouver in 2010 and Sochi, Russia in 2014, where he helped Canada to an 11 th place finish in the mixed relay. He also finished ninth in the men's 15-km mass start that year as well, a remarkable result considering he was coming off two surgeries to fix his spine.
Green was also part of the men's relay team that made Canadian biathlon history at the 2016 Biathlon World Championships by winning bronze in the men's 4 x 7.5-km relay.
