Quadruple biathlon world champion Jacqueline could end the season earlier than expected

The director of the French biathlon team, Stéphane Boutier, said that Emilien Jacqueline close to the end of the season.

Thus, the mass start last Sunday at the World Championships in Oberhof could be the biathlete’s last race of the 2022/23 season.

– Already last year it was very difficult for him during and after the Olympic Games. In the spring, he returned to competition, not paying enough attention to rest and recovery. Now he can play for a week, then the blackout comes back. He has a great lack of energy.

In the situation he finds himself in, we can say that he is going to take a long break. The coaches and I have discussed the situation with him, and what he needs right now is to postpone everything for three to four months. This is necessary to come back fresh and motivated to use their enormous potential, Boutier said, quoted by Nordic .

At the 2023 World Championships in Oberhof, Jacqueline, 27, won gold in the relay and bronze in the mixed relay as part of the France team.

Jacqueline is a silver medalist at the 2022 Winter Olympics, quadruple world champion, winner and medalist of the World Cup stages.
