The retirements at the end of this season are coming in thick and heavy - Anais Chevalier-Bouchet has announced that she will also conclude her career after this week in Oslo-Holmenkollen.

After Denise Herrmann-Wick and Marte Olsbu Roeiseland, Anais Chevalier-Bouchet is the next name to hang up her rifle after the end of this season.

The French woman, who has a total of 10 World Championships and Olympic medals to her name, announced the end of her career this morning on Instagram.

Chevalier-Bouchet collected multiple medals at Youth Junior World Championships and won the Sprint at the Open European Championshps in 2013 - the Frenchwoman was promoted to the World Cup team the same year in Hochfilzen and became a fixture in the French squad, contributing to 12 Relay victories in her time - her sole individual World Cup victory coming in the pursuit of Nove Mesto Na Morave in 2016. The 30-year-old sat out the 2019/2020 World Cup season after the birth of her daughter - but made a dynamic return to the sport in the past three years, continuing to be a big medal and podium candidate.

With the exception of Oestersund 2019 (when she was already pregnant), Chevalier-Bouchet won medals at every big event between 2016 and 2023 - including Silver at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games in the Individual.

Enjoy this last dance in Holmenkollen, Anais!
