Biathlon: France makes no changes for Ruhpolding
On Monday morning, the French Ski Federation (FFS) unveiled the full list of biathletes selected for the World Cup in Ruhpolding (Germany) starting on Wednesday.
Unsurprisingly, the group remains unchanged from the races contested in Oberhof (Germany) over the last few days. Paula Botet, winner of the sprint and second in the mixed singles relay, retains her place alongside Justine Braisaz-Bouchet, Lou Jeanmonnot, Jeanne Richard, Océane Michelon and Julia Simon.
