Biathlon: short sprints and short individuals in Contamines-Montjoie this weekend
A few days after the third leg last weekend in Prémanon (Jura), the 2024/2025 French Biathlon Cup continues this weekend in Les Contamines-Montjoie (Haute-Savoie).
The Contamines Ski Club will be in charge of this venue, which is often used by the national circuit. The programme for the U17 and U129/U22/Seniors includes short sprints from Friday. Saturday will be reserved for short individual races.
The selective stakes in this fourth round of the French Cup will be many: the athletes sent to the European Youth Olympic Festival and the European Junior Championships will be known at the end of it.
