Czech Marketa Davidova won the Individual (15 km) in Ostersund (Sweden) on Saturday, opening the Biathlon World Cup, while the French women completely missed it.

Davidova, reigning world champion in the specialty and author of a perfect shooting, scored the third victory of her career, beating the Austrian Lisa-Theresa Hauser and the German Denise Herrmann, at the end of 'a first race marked by the failure of the main favorites.

The Blues are too fragile when shooting

The Norwegian Tiril Eckhoff, the champion of the big crystal globe, took only 30th place committing five rifle errors, her runner-up and compatriot Marte-Olsbu Roeiseland finishing 10th with 3 faults.

The Bleues, handicapped by their chronic ineffectiveness in shooting, have experienced a real ordeal and have started this Olympic season very badly.

The first French representative, Anaïs Bescond, only ranked 28th (4 faults).

Anaïs Chevalier-Bouchet, number 1 tricolor in 2020-2021, is even further (52nd, 5 faults).
