Largely dominating during the stages of the Biathlon World Cup, the French men’s relay team on the occasion of becoming world champion this afternoon in Lenzerheide in a very open race.
With already six gold medals gleaned from these world championships, the French biathlon team will have the opportunity this afternoon to consolidate first place in the medal classification via the men’s relay race where the tricolor quartet is largely favorite.
Quentin Fillon MailletÉmilien Jacquelin and the Brothers Claude (Fabien and Émilien) flew over the World Cup season with four notable victories, one of which marked the spirits in Ruhpolding in Germany on January 17. With very few errors on the shots, the French led the end -to -end race before winning with more than 38 seconds ahead of Sweden and 58 seconds in front of Germany.
Simon Fourcade and Jean-Pierre Amat, the two coaches of the French relay, are nevertheless in front of a dilemma a few hours before the race. Should we keep the same selection where will they have to make room for Eric Perrot? Individual world champion on Wednesday, Perrot marked the spirits by maturity and perfect management of races throughout this week. At 23, the native of Bourg-Saint-Maurice would not be too much to lead France to the 7th title on these world championships.
Jean Pierre Amat was even amazed by the performance of the Cadet of the band last Wednesday as he admitted ” It is a real sponge and it especially has a very beautiful memory. He knows what to put aside and make the syntheses. We have already seen good biathletes, but it is a synthesis. Guys of this age, with this maturity, we have not known much! “” This gives a little idea about his desire to incorporate Eric Perrot into the team this Saturday for the relay before the Mass Start on Sunday. According to the latest information, it is Émilien Jacquelin, very disappointing about the pursuit and the individual, who should be put on the touch for the benefit of Eric Perrot.
As a reminder, in the 4 x 7.5 km men’s relay, each athlete travels 3 2.5 km loops and makes 2 shots (lying down, standing). Each shot allows 3 reserve balls and 1 round of 150 penalty per missed target.
