Biathlon: a predominantly pre-manon summer for the Excellence 2030 groups
While the composition of the French biathlon team’s various training groups was unveiled at the end of April, Nordic Magazine this week reveals the schedule for the preparation of the different teams.
Following on from Groups A and B, the summer line-up for the Excellence 2030 groups – the real French junior teams – has now been revealed. Unsurprisingly, coaches Claire Breton and Rachel Demangeat will have their group together in Prémanon (Jura) for six of the ten training camps: the first four (26-30 May, 23-28 June, 13-22 July, 30 July-3 August) and then two in the autumn (6-12 September and 6-12 October).
The other four courses will take place in Font-Romeu (Pyrénées-Orientales) from 18 to 28 August, in Ceillac (Hautes-Alpes) from 24 to 28 October, then in Bessans (Savoie) from 5 to 16 and 24 to 28 November.
Finally, Léo Carlier, Antonin Delsol, Camille Grataloup-Manissolle, Antonin Guy, Guillaume Poirot, Flavio Guy, Lou-Anne Dupont Ballet-Baz, Lola Bugeaud, Louise Roguet, Namou Candau-Armand and Coralie Perrin will be taking part in the Summer Tour in Arçon (Doubs) in September, followed by La Féclaz (Savoie) in October.
