Biathlon: only one change in the French IBU Cup squad for Brezno-Osrblie
This week, the IBU Biathlon Cup stops off in Brezno-Osrblie (Slovakia). In this fifth round of the B circuit, Les Bleus will be competing with a group virtually identical to the one that has been present in Arber (Germany) over the last few days.
According to the list unveiled on Monday by the French Ski Federation (FFS), only one change has been made. With Emilien Claude returning to the World Cup, it’s Valentin Lejeune who takes the cake, returning to the IBU Cup for the first time since mid-December.
The rest of the team remains the same: Antonin Guigonnat, Gaëtan Paturel, Damien Levet, Corentin Jacob and Léo Carlier have been selected for the men’s team, as have Gilonne Guigonnat, Célia Henaff, Voldiya Galmace-Paulin, Paula Botet, Sophie Chauveau and Amandine Mengin for the women.
