Among the numerous starters in the World Cup stage a Le Grand Bornandstarting in recent days, there are those who have approached the races with particular emotion. This is the case of Jeanne Richard, originally from Haute-Savoie and since I was little I wanted to one day be able to tread those slopes with a bib on my shoulders. The dream finally became reality in yesterday's sprint, in which the Frenchwoman was also able to take advantage of the challenge of finishing with a beautiful 12th positionwith an error in the standing shot.
The emotion is great and you can read it clearly in his post-match statements, delivered to the microphones of Nordic Magazine: “Little Jeanne watched a lot of TV and hung out trackside. Today I ski and express myself on this same slope and I am happy. A curve with your name is just something crazy! I'm lucky to have so much support and that's just wonderful. I like the fact that there are so many people on the track”. And in fact there was no shortage of them on the track banners, images and chants dedicated to the 2002 athletehappy to finally be able to experience the thrill of competing on home snow.
Now the goal becomes to improve that excellent 12ª square, maybe going attacking the top 10 which this year is still missing from Savoyard. With the support of the many and very passionate French fans, the undertaking could prove easier than expected. Word to the track, from 2:45 p.m. starts the female pursuit of Le Grand Bornand.
