France and Poland win biathlon relays at IBU Youth World Championships Friday, 5 March 2021
France and Poland have won the youth biathlon relays on the penultimate day of competition in Obertilliach in Austria as part of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) Youth World Championships.
In the women’s 3x6-kilometre relay, the French trio of Fany Bertrand, Jeanne Richard and Maya Cloetens led from the start, finishing in a time of 53min 30.5sec.
Cloetens missed only one target on the anchor leg, finishing with a 13.2 second gap to silver medallists Slovenia.
A difficult skiing start for Klara Vindisar left her team chasing the podium, but still within contention, with Slovenia slowly pulling in France thanks to legs from Kaja Zorc and Lena Repinc.
