Biathlon | Cross-country skiing: the Excellence 2030 group, rebirth of the French junior team
Decided at the end of the spring by theFFS’s national technical directorate, the return of the French junior Nordic ski teams is taking place in the form of the Excellence 2030 group.
In biathlon, under the guidance of Rachel Demangeat and Claire Breton, and in cross-country skiing, with Damien Tarantola and Arnaud Durand as coaches, two groups of ten were formed before bringing together the country’s best into a single team.
