Patrick Côté (born February 6, 1985 in Grand-Sault ) is a former Canadian biathlete .

Patrick Côté lives in Canmore and starts for Biathlon NB . His coaches so far have been Matthias Ahrens , Richard Boruta and Roger Archambault . In 1998 he came into contact with winter sports when he was an active cyclist at the time and was looking for a winter training sport. He quickly switched to winter sports and started a biathlon race for the first time in 2000. Between 2001 and 2003 he became the New Brunswick Biathlon Champion three times in a row . In 2004 he also started in the Cross Country Ski Championships in Canada and finished sixth over 30 kilometers. At the Canadian Biathlon Championships of the year, he won gold with the relay. The following year he finished third in the sprint and mass start at Edmonton . 2005 was also the year of his first international appearances. In Kontiolahti , he took part in his only Junior World Championships. The best result in an individual race was eleventh place in the individual. With the season, which included Jaime Robb , Nathan Smith and Jean-Philippe Leguellec in addition to Côté , he surprisingly won the bronze medal behind Germany and France. Because of his good performance, he was voted Canadian Biathlete of the Year. At the Canadian Championships in Valcartier in 2006, he just missed medals in fourth in sprint and individual.

In 2007 Côté made his debut in Cesana San Sicario as 25th in an individual in the European Biathlon Cup . Only a little later he was used in Pokljuka for the first time in the Biathlon World Cup (89th in the sprint). While he often ran in the European Cup and, for example , achieved good results as eighth in the pursuit of Nové Město na Moravě , the French-Canadian was used only once in a relay race (14th in Pokljuka) in the 2007/08 season . The 2008/09 season started better . In the first race of the season, an individual in Östersund , Côté ran in 64th place. A few months earlier, he won bronze medals in all three races of the North American Roller Ski Biathlon Championships in 2008 .
