It's called a nice tuck shot.
This Thursday, in Östersund, in the north of Sweden, the French biathlon team was at the rendezvous.
With Émilien Jacquelin and Quentin Fillon-Maillet, she won good second and third places.
A performance of choice just behind the Swede, Sebastian Samuelson, who once again marked the spirits.
For this sprint event, it was the Frenchman Simon Desthieux who set off with the yellow leader's bib in the company of the Norwegian Johannes Boe.
But it was once again the winner of the first sprint race on Sunday which was formidable in efficiency.
Sebastian Samuelsson achieved another tour de force by not realizing only one shooting foul, but also by going much faster than his rivals on the loops to go.
CHECK 😉🇫🇷🤝

Faced with this show of force, the French did more than resist.
Like Emilien Jacquelin, who remained on the Swedish side, with only one shooting failure but conceding a handful of seconds on the ski part.
In the end, the Frenchman only missed 18 seconds to clinch the victory.
Just behind him, Quentin Fillon-Maillet brings third place to the France team by achieving an equally remarkable course.
QFM accuses only three seconds of deficit on his friend.
As for Simon Desthieux, with his 23rd place, caused by two shooting failures and a delay of 1′19 on the winner, he loses his yellow bib, in favor of the winner of the day, who seizes for the first time the leader's place.
