Biathlon: France in Italy with the same twelve as in Oberhof and Ruhpolding
On Monday morning, the French Ski Federation (FFS ) unveiled the selection of biathletes who will take part in the World Cup in Antholz-Anterselva (Italy) from Thursday. At the venue of the Milan/Cortina 2026 Olympic Games, there will be no surprises, as the same group as in Germany over the last fortnight will be there.
The women’s team includes Justine Braisaz-Bouchet, Jeanne Richard, Julia Simon, Océane Michelon, Lou Jeanmonnot and Paula Botet. Fabien Claude, Antonin Guigonnat, Emilien Claude, Quentin Fillon-Maillet, Eric Perrot and Emilien Jacquelin have been selected on the men’s side.
