From Thursday to Sunday in Anterselva (Italy)
In his determined quest for the big crystal globe, Lou Jeanmonnot will have to continue to amaze his people. Now winner of eight individual races in her career, including four successes already gleaned this winter, the Pontissalian biathlete is already well on her way to winning the small individual globe, even if Preuss is still dangerous from an accounting perspective. But she wants more, and this will certainly mean winning new races, moreover on stages where she has never raised her arms individually: Nove Mesto (Czech Republic), Pokljuka (Slovenia), Oslo Holmenkollen (Norway). ) and above all that Antholz-Anterselva (Italy), where she scored two podiums in 2024.
On this last stage of the World Cup, before the Worlds in Switzerland in February (where the points will not be counted in the ranking), the second in the general will try to climb on the last step of the podium where she is not yet climb (3rd in the short individual and 2nd in the mass start in 2023/24). This on the site which will host the Winter Olympics in a year, Antholz-Anterselva, where work was carried out in the off-season, including an extension of its finish line to allow overtaking.
