Julia Simon is reigning world champion in the pursuit. The 27-year-old biathlete had a complicated start to the season, between truncated preparation and extra-sporting affairs.

After winning with France in the mixed relay at the opening of the Worlds, in Nove Mesto (Czech Republic), Simon will confirm her status as world champion this Sunday, February 11. Simon: “I knew how to get back up”: after business and doubt, Julia Simon dreams of medals at the Biathlon Worlds.
