Mark Gee (born February 21, 1972 in Aviemore ) is a former British biathlete . Gee took part in three Winter Olympic Games and seven Biathlon World Championships . Nationally he is one of the most successful British biathletes of his playing days.

Mark Gee lives in Southend-On-Sea. The soldier from the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment has been involved in biathlon since 1989. He started in the biathlon world cup in the early 1990s . At his first Olympics, he took in 1994 in Lillehammer part. With Michael Dixon , Ian Woods and Kenneth Rudd he competed in the relay race and was 17th. The same placement with the relay Gee reached at the 1995 Biathlon World Championships in Antholz . In addition, he ran there on the places 77 in the individual and 83 in the sprint. In the following years he repeatedly achieved good results for British standards in biathlon. In 1996 in Ruhpolding he reached 75th place in individual, at the 1998 Olympic Games in Nagano 68 in individual and sprint and at the 1999 World Championships in Kontiolahti and Oslo he was 61 in individual and 66 in sprint. The 2000 Biathlon World Championships at Holmenkollen in Oslo went particularly well . Gee also achieved his best World Cup result with 39th place in the individual, was 51st in the individual and thus qualified for the pursuit race in which he was 57th. Also in 2001 in Pokljuka the Scot achieved good results. In the individual he was 42nd, in the sprint 44th and 49th in the pursuit. The 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City did not go quite as well, with the 81st place in the individual and 72nd in the sprint as a result. At the 2003 World Championships in Khanty-Mansiysk , he achieved another good placement with 56 in the sprint. His last World Cup in 2004 in Oberhof with results beyond the 70s ranks less well . After the season, Gee ended his international career.

Nationally Gee could achieve great success. He won the individual, sprint and pursuit titles in 2003, individual and mass start titles in 2004, and achieved third places in the sprint and team competition. In 2005, the title with the relay and third place in the mass start was added. In 2005 he also ended his national career and now works for the British Association.
