Justine Braisaz-Bouchet hits form at perfect time for first biathlon World Cup win in over two years

Justine Braisaz-Bouchet claimed her first biathlon World Cup win in more than two years as she moved clear of compatriot Julia Simon late on to triumph in the women's 15km individual in Antholz-Anterselva. The two French biathletes fought a see-saw battle for much of the race but during the final standing stage on the range, Braisaz-Bouchet — who had just a single penalty on the day — took the lead and then skied to glory by crossing the line in 42:20.6.
