Women 4x6 km Relay Competition

Julia Simon, despite using all three spare rounds in her standing stage anchored France to a convincing 1:12:22.5 win in this afternoon’s Oberhof Women’s 4 X 6 km relay. The French squad of Lou Jeanmonnot, Justine Braisaz-Bouchet, Sophie Chauveau and Simon, avoiding the penalty loop, used twelve spares in their first relay win of the season. The French foursome went unchallenged once Braisaz-Bouchet skied a brilliantly fast final loop giving the lead to Chauveau, with Simon holding off Norway’s hard-charging Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold in the last loop, sealing the win.
