We would like to know, one day, what an impeccable Justine Braisaz-Bouchet would give to shooting over a season. Like that, for fun. Because at 25, the Frenchwoman is in the shape of her life on skis as she demonstrated on Friday during the Hochfilzen sprint, which she finished in 2nd place behind the untouchable Sola. Without his two shooting faults (one lying error and another standing), Braisaz-Bouchet would probably have won his first race of the year.

Frustration, therefore, but satisfaction all the same. The Frenchwoman confirmed her good form at the moment and despite everything continued to progress in shooting. If it still lacks precision, it is much faster than before. Coupled with her power and, it must be said, the clumsiness of her opponents, she went looking for a result that will surely put her in confidence before Sunday’s pursuit. Before that, there will be the relay. A race where Anaïs Chevalier and Julia Simon (five faults each) will surely want to do better than the day before.
