Almost perfect on the shooting range, French biathlete Lou Jeanmonnot won, on Sunday March 10, the pursuit in Soldier Hollow (Utah) in the United States, her third World Cup victory, on the penultimate stage of the season. Jeanmonnot, who started in third position – her sprint ranking on Friday – won the sprint in front of the Italian Lisa Vittozzi, author like her of a 19 out of 20 in shooting.
The Doubist biathlete (25 years old), who consolidates her fifth place in the general classification, obtained the first two individual victories of her career at the very beginning of winter during the inaugural stage in Östersund.
Seventh at the start of the race, Julia Simon took third place, 1′ 1”, with two missed targets. Ingrid Tandrevold, the leader of the general classification, and Justine Braisaz-Bouchet, her runner-up before the race, finished in 11th and 7th place respectively after experiencing an ordeal on the shooting range (six faults each).
The Norwegian, however, maintains a comfortable cushion of points in the ranking – 73 over Vitozzi, 83 over Braisaz-Bouchet and 106 over Simon (a victory is worth 90 points) – before the ninth and final stage of the World Cup in Canmore, Canada, where the last three individual events of the winter will be contested: sprint, pursuit and mass start.
Les Bleues du biathlon have ten individual victories this season, not counting their three world titles won in February in Nove Mesto, in the Czech Republic. The men achieved their first success of the winter on Saturday, thanks to Eric Perrot, in the sprint.
