Biathlon: Gilonne Guigonnat ousted from the group which will go to Grand-Bornand
There would inevitably be a disappointment within theFrench women's biathlon team at the end of this second weekend of the world cup disputed at Hochfilzenin the Austrian Tyrol. Indeed, playing as a team of seven since the start of winter, the French collective now sees itself deprived of a quota.
The members of the staff therefore had to rack their brains to make a choice and decide on a name that would not meet the expectations of the highly anticipated Grand-Bornand competitions (Haute-Savoie). And the one that was selected is that of Gilonne Guigonnat.
Despite a lackluster opening stage in Finland, Haut-Savoyarde gradually regained color. To the point of realizing a solid performance on the Austrian pursuit where she finished ninth. However, last Frenchwoman in the general classification in twenty-sixth position, the 26-year-old biathlete was therefore sidelined for this main reason.
“Over all the results since the start of the season and over the first three weeks of the World Cup, Gilonne was a little behind the othersexplain Stéphane Bouthiauxboss of the French teams, for Nordic Magazine. She had a very good pursuit on Saturday, but indeed, in the general classification, it is she who remains behind the others, even if what she did remains very good! »
A difficult decision to make for the entire French contingent: “Today, we are losing a quota and we absolutely had to make a decision. I think that overall, since the start of the season, she has been a little less efficient than the others. Somehow, this decision was self-evident”adds the Doubiste.
