Not that surprising for Botn, whose performance has dropped in 2026. The more interesting part is Uldal getting a spot over Lagraeid, who is supposed to be the unofficial captain of the Norwegian team. 

Understandable that Botn's performance dropped a little (I mean, not that much in the three races he did in 2026), but still unfortunate. I hope he'll be able to pick himself up and honour Bakken with something awesome.

And over Lou to finish. She must be 100% fit.

 

Apparently Jeanmonnot asked not to be on the last leg so I presume she doesn't do the last leg of women's relay either? Her finish sprint speed is suspect indeed but it's not like France has to worry about that too much in this particular event.

She said she didn't 'feel" like having the weight of the 3 others for her first ever olympic race. Might be different by the time the women's relay comes.

 Camille Bened to race the individual, Michelon for the sprint/pursuit

This would mean Jeanne Richard is there to, I don't know, pre-taste the food for the others to avoid nobody in the French women's team is trying to poison someone?

 mixed relay announced: Badacz-Guńka-Sidorowicz-Żuk.

 

Top 10 place is probably doable IF we avoid penalty loops (Żuk on the last leg is shaky for that).

It's the first 30 pages of an Agatha Christie novel in the French women's team, that's for sure.
