This is a great way to start this Biathlon World Cup stage in Le Grand-Bornand.
Frenchwoman Anaïs Bescond took 2nd place in the sprint on Thursday in the Haute-Savoie resort, for the circuit's big comeback in France after two years of absence.
Impeccable in shooting, solid on skis, the triple Olympic medalist in 2018 in Pyeongchang, already second in the pursuit in Ostersund on December 4, only lost to the Norwegian Marte Olsbu Roeiseland, in great shape at the start of the season.
Roeiseland, more than ever leader of the general classification, widened the gap on the track.
She will start in the pursuit on Saturday with 15 seconds ahead of Bescond, who will start in the company of Elvira Oeberg, impressive third in the sprint despite her penalty laps.
💬 "This race gives me great pleasure", Anaïs Bescond

" I am very happy.
It makes me really happy this race, reacted Bescond.
There was a big atmosphere, it inspired me.
“The other Habs were not so much.
If Julia Simon limited the damage with her 13th place 48 seconds from the lead (two shooting faults), Anaïs Chevalier (25th, one fault) and Justine Braisaz (31st, three faults) will start beyond the minute.
