Cross-country skiing: Léna Quintin puts a smile on her face by winning the French Cup
Although not selected for the French team for the Tour de Ski, bornandine cross-country skier Léna Quintin is back on the national circuit at the start of the year. On Saturday, she won the classic sprint of the French Cup in Autrans (Isère).
Second in the qualifying round at midday, she raised her game in the heats to win the final ahead of Liv Coupat and Justine Gaillard. Léonie Besson, Daphné Patois and Mélina Berthet follow in the rankings.
In the men’s category, the Isère sprint went to Mattéo Correia from Bressaud. He won the final ahead of Julien Arnaud and Gaspard Rousset, and benefited from the elimination of Quentin Viguier, the fastest qualifier, in the semi-finals.
