Curt Schreiner
American biathlete
Curt Schreiner (born March 9, 1967) is an American biathlete. He competed at the 1988 Winter Olympics, the 1992 Winter Olympics and the 1994 Winter Olympics.
Schreiner took an interest in biathlon after watching the 1980 Olympics. When he was a teenager, he and his family built a biathlon course on the family's 175-acre (71 ha) property in Day, New York.
Schreiner competed in canoeing, biathlon and cross-country skiing at the Empire State Games as well as the world junior canoe championships. He graduated as valedictorian of Hadley-Luzerne High School in Lake Luzerne, New York.
After high school, Schreiner commuted from home to Skidmore College so that he could to train on his home biathlon course. As Schreiner got more serious about his biathlon training, he was encouraged by fellow competitors to join the military and enlisted in the New York Army National Guard. Because his military service interrupted his time at Skidmore, he earned college credits at Northern Michigan University and later graduated from Excelsior College.
After failing to qualify for the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics, Schreiner quit biathlon and became certified in teaching.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american biathlete” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1145313. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1967, 1988, 1992 and 1994.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
