French braisaz-bouchet wins gold in the biathlon sprint of the World Cup!

At the Biathlon World Championships 2023 in the German Oberhof, the Frenchwoman Julia Simon caused a sensation. On Sunday she won the women's chase race in an impressive manner, after she was only tenth in the sprint on Friday and had a minute behind the leading. Simon left everything behind and secured the victory with just one false shot and a lead of 27 seconds before the German sprint world champion Herrmann-Wick, who shot four times, such as krone.at reported .

disappointing achievements of the Austrians

The women's sprint was another setback for the Austrian biathletes. Lisa Hauser finished only 26 and had to put up with two minutes of penalty. "You would have had to shoot zero, then a window would have been open," she said about her disappointing performance. Anna Gandler and Tamara Steiner concluded the race in places 33 and 35, which makes the Austrian task enormously more difficult for the following persecution race, while the local athletes could not line up in the fight for the medals.

Overall, the World Cup exit for Austria remains disappointing, while the French athletes clearly dominated the podium. With her victory in the persecution race, Simon not only recorded a personal triumph, but also further evidence of the dominant form of the French team this season.
