The women’s sprint (5:20 p.m.) is the first individual race of these biathlon world championships in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic. Julia Simon, Justine Braisaz-Bouchet and the rest of the French team will look for gold tonight. Follow this ladies sprint live.
Honorable place for Jeanne Richard
Jeanne Richard also had rockets on her feet. 9 places moved up in the last lap to finish 15th in this sprint. An interesting place already planning on the pursuit. 1-2-3-4-15, the places for our French women this Friday.
Not the first quadruplet
A quadruplet is not completely new for French biathlon. At the world championships, yes, at the World Cup, no. In December 2019, Martin Fourcade won the Östersund individual ahead of Simon Desthieux and Quentin Fillon-Maillet, Emilien Jacquelin finished just off the podium.
3/5 for Jeanne Richard
Jeanne Richard went very quickly in the second lap, stabilizing her gap compared to Julia Simon’s time. Unfortunately, the left-hander from Haut-Savoy made two mistakes on the standing shot. She is currently 24th. With the 10/10, the quintuplet might be hoped for.
Jeanne Richard perfect lying down
And it continues ! Jeanne Richard makes 5 out of 5 during her prone shot. She came out 18th, 21 seconds behind Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold, in the lead at this intermediate.
Chocolate medal for Chauveau
Sophie Chauveau remains 4th on the finish line, just three seconds behind Lou Jeanmonnot’s 3rd place. The four French women are in the first four places. Jeanne Richard started her race.
Sophie Chauveau 9/10, 4th provisional
Towards a quadruplet?! Sophie Chauveau, who has so much difficulty filling up on the standing shot, achieves this filling and comes out in Lou Jeanmonnot’s time, to get a bronze medal. France 1-2-3-4.
Yes, completely crazy!
Towards a hat-trick?
Justine Braisaz-Bouchet only needs 4.9 seconds to beat Julia Simon. France occupies the first three positions and there are no longer any serious candidates for victory. What if Sophie Chauveau placed herself close to her teammates?
The other favorites don’t make it
Three French women currently occupy the first three places. Elvira Öberg, Lisa Vittozzi, Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold, Hanna Öberg, Franziska Preuss, all missed balls and are within a reasonable distance of Lou Jeanmonnot, provisional 3rd at the end of the last shot.
Justine Braisaz-Bouchet will play victory for Julia Simon
Oh the duel is going to be huge! Justine Braisaz-Bouchet achieves 5/5 and comes out 13 seconds behind Julia Simon before the last loop. But the Olympic mass start champion skis much faster…
Tandrevold starts well
Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold emerges one second ahead of Julia Simon following the first shot. It might be tight between the two women during this sprint.
4/5 for Jeanmonnot and Braisaz-Bouchet
On the skis, everything is going well for Lou Jeanmonnot, but a ball dropped on his standing shot and finally a 9/10. Justine Braisaz-Bouchet misses a ball on the prone.
10/10 for Julia Simon
Julia Simon was right not to touch her shot on Thursday, following the mixed relay. Her standing is impeccable, fast as she has been doing so much for several months and above all all the targets are cleared. She takes an option on victory.
5/5 for Elvira Öberg
Elvira Öberg makes a big bead on the first ball but ultimately comes out clean. She came out 4th behind Simon, Jeanmonnot and her sister, Hanna.
Lou Jeanmonnot also fills up
Like the four other biathletes before her, Lou Jeanmonnot does not miss a single ball. At the same time, Justine Braisaz-Bouchet begins her race.
20,000 people were present for the mixed relay, the public was also enthusiastic on Friday
Julia Simon starts well
For now, the settings are good. A very solid and generally centered shot for Julia Simon who leaves the shooting range for the first time with a 5/5.

Salty snow, drier weather
Regarding the weather, the rain was still present in Nove Mesto but it stopped around noon giving way to drier weather. Temperatures remain warm at 7 degrees on the thermometer. Simon Fourcade, French coach of the men’s group, speaks of a “salty but clean track”. “It should remain stable,” he adds.
