Cyril Burdet has been at the head of the French women's biathlon team since the summer of 2022. At the end of each race, he is the one who harangues the biathletes.
On Saturday, during the women's relay, he even had time to give a blue-white-red flag to Julia Simon, who was taking the Blues to the first collective title in their history. “Seeing him scream at that moment is great,” laughs Sophie Chauveau, 4th in the sprint and the pursuit, now world champion.
