On Monday afternoon, Belgium Biathlon unveiled the list of Belgian athletes selected for the second stage of the World Cup scheduled for this week in Hochfilzen (Austria).
Unsurprisingly, the leaders Maya Cloetens, who scored the best result of her career in Östersund (Sweden), Lotte Lie, Florent Claude and Thierry Langer are all back in the race.

Accompanying them will be Marisa Emonts and Eve Bouvard, as in Sweden, as well as Marek Mackels and Sam Parmantier. The latter are taking the places of César Beauvais and Julien Petitjacques, who are moving up to the IBU Cup.
