Ingrid Tandrevold, runner-up to Justine Braisaz-Bouchet in the general classification of the World Cup, won the sprint in Ruhpolding (Germany) on Friday. The Norwegian, who signs her second victory of the winter, is ahead of the Swede Brorsson and the Italian Lisa Vittozzi. Lou Jeanmonnot, first Frenchwoman, finished just off the podium despite a flawless shooting.
The Blues come back down to earth, Tandrevold does it again. On cloud nine since the start of winter, the French women fell somewhat back into line this Friday during the sprint in Ruhpolding (Germany). Our representatives, who had won seven of the first ten races, did not place any of theirs on the podium this time, and we will have to at least wait until Sunday’s continuation to in the worst case see a Frenchwoman again on the box and in the better hear the Marseillaise resonate once again during the flower ceremony. Lou Jeanmonnot, the best Frenchwoman of the day, reminded us just after crossing the line: in Ruhpolding, achieving a full score on the shooting range is not a guarantee of victory or a podium. The heroine of the Östersund round got a new taste of it. The native of Pontarlier was back in top form after being slowed down by a virus in December – “it was a bit as if I couldn’t get into third gear and that I could stall in the bumps and be at full throttle. diet on certain dishes” – thus cleared all the targets, but for a fourth place on arrival on this site which she nevertheless appreciates enormously: “a lot of reminders, dishes, things where you have to be quite powerful. It’s more my thing. » Tandrevold, Mona Brorsson and Lisa Vittozzi also achieved a flawless performance, but the Norwegian, the Swede and the Italian were faster on skis than the Frenchwoman, who therefore failed at the foot of the Top 3, but was nevertheless had the right to the flower ceremony. And with an inevitable mixed feeling.
Simon weighed down by the standing shot
“It’s fourth place, it’s very cool but a little boring all the same (sic)”, did not hide Jeanmonnot, questioned on The Channel L’Equipe, while Tandrevold, already victorious in the Hochfilzen sprint last December, was able to celebrate her second success of the winter and her great accounting transaction. Runner-up to Justine Braisaz-Bouchet in the rankings, she took advantage of this victory and the poor performance of her rival, only 12th (8 out of 10 shooting), to get closer in the rankings. Julia Simon, for her part, closes the Top 10 (10th). The winner of the big crystal globe could, however, curse her two errors in the standing shot, which certainly cost her the podium. “I had everything I needed to play at the front and position myself for the chase. This standing shot clearly sticks in my throat (…) It’s frustrating. I didn’t do anything, but when I arrived, the mat was slippery, and when I don’t have my shot coming out easily, I still have trouble adapting and it’s a shot very bad. The double fault really penalizes me a lot,” railed the title holder, who remained on a success obtained in the Oberhof pursuit last week. We had forgotten it, but the Blues may also not win.
