Biathlon: Océane Michelon joins the Gendarmerie nationale
Biathlete Océane Michelon will be sporting a new patch on her equipment. Like Eric Perrot, Emilien Claude, Lou Jeanmonnot, Fabien Claude, Paula Botet and Antonin Guigonnat, the Savoyard is now part of the Armée des Champions.
She joined the ranks of this prestigious institution on Wednesday 1 October, when she signed her contract with the Gendarmerie at the Direction Générale de la Gendarmerie Nationale (DGGN).
“It’s an accolade that goes beyond the sporting arena. Joining the Armée des Champions, particularly as a gendarme, means a lot to me,” explains Océane Michelon in a press release. It’s another inspiring step in my career. Being part of the Gendarmerie’s top-level sportsmen and women means joining a group with a real identity, capable of promoting great values”.
