Para biathlon | Para cross-country skiing: the French squad for the Worlds has been announced
Late on Tuesday, the French Disabled Sports Federation (FFH) published the French selection for the Nordic para-ski world championships scheduled for the coming weeks.
For the para biathlon, scheduled from Thursday to Sunday in Pokljuka (Slovenia), Anthony Chalençon will be joined by his guide Florian Michelon, Karl Tabouret and Benjamin Daviet. Alexis Sanchez will complete the group for the para cross-country skiing event in Toblach (Italy) from 12 to 14 February.
Finally, Karl Tabouret and Benjamin Daviet will be in Trondheim (Norway) at the start of March for the classic para-cross-country sprint.
It should be noted that Chloé Pinto from Beaufort, who was in contention for a place in the World Championships at the start of the season on the first two World Cup tours, failed to perform at a sufficiently high level to secure her ticket.
