Shortly afterwards he ran towards the end of the season in Lahti as 84th of an individual on his best World Cup result to date. In 2008 Kane started both at the World Championships in Östersund and the European Championships in Nové Město na Moravě . The 85th place in the individual of the world championship is also the second best result in the world cup of the Briton. In the sprint he came in 102nd place, with the relay he was 23rd. In Nove Mesto he achieved good results with 64th place in the individual, 51st in the sprint, 49th in the pursuit and 15 with the relay.
