Ski jumping | Nordic combined: four jumpers and five combinations announced at the CNOSF pre-Olympic meeting
In less than a week’s time, the road to the Milan/Cortina 2026 Olympic Games will officially open for French athletes. From 26 to 30 May, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) is organising its traditional pre-Olympic gathering on the Presqu’île de Giens (Var).
Cancelled in 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic, this week-long gathering of nearly 200 athletes from the various Winter Olympic disciplines is back on the programme this year. The last edition, at a time when a certain Martin Fourcade was at the top of his game, dates back to 2017 and took place in sunny La Londe-les-Maures (Var).
Nordic Magazine was able to obtain the list of athletes invited to this event, which combines training in the morning with joint activities in the afternoon, from the CNOSF. Nine ski jumpers and Nordic combined athletes will be taking part.
All the big French names will be there
In the special jump, Joséphine Pagnier is the only athlete selected who has already taken part in the Olympic competition. She will be accompanied on this course by Emma Chervet, Valentin Foubert and Enzo Milesi.
As the Nordic combined event is not an Olympic discipline for women, only boys have been selected: Mattéo Baud, Marco Heinis, Laurent Muhlethaler, Gaël Blondeau and Edgar Vallet.
