Today at 2:38 p.m.
The rain stopped falling a few minutes before the start of the men’s sprint, the first race of the Grand Bornand biathlon world cup stage, but the deluge fell on the stadium until midday biathlon athlete Sylvie Becaert.
Antonin Guigonnat found an original solution to brave the rain during the warm-up. The Haut-Savoyard arrived at the settings with… swimming goggles on his head. Plastic glasses which he of course took off when starting this sprint. Hoping that the vice-world champion of the mass start in 2019 will raise the 20,000 supporters present at Grand Bornand like Léon Marchand this summer at the Paris La Défense Arena.
