Milan Cortina 2026: France’s Julia Simon races to gold in women’s individual biathlon
France’s Julia Simon won the women’s 15-kilometre individual biathlon race at the Winter Games on Wednesday, making up for a single miss on the shooting range with a powerful skiing performance on the track to add individual gold to a mixed relay victory. Simon’s compatriot Lou Jeanmonnot took silver, 53.1 seconds behind, with Lora Hristova securing a surprise bronze for Bulgaria. However, it was Simon’s composure that stood out.
