Julia Simon, biathlon champion

Your age: 24 years old

Your discipline: biathlon

Your team or club: Club des Sports des Saisies

Your sporting background: I started skiing very early, around the age of 2 or 3, with my father, and then I went to the Club des Sports des Saisies for downhill skiing. We did a bit of cross-country skiing at the same time, and I quickly realized that despite the effort required, I was more comfortable in this discipline. Around the age of 8, I had to choose between the two, and so without hesitation, I ended up in the Nordic section. I then joined the Savoie Ski Committee, then the French elite level. I have been riding the World Cup circuit for several years.

Your favorite playground: The paths and trails of Beaufortain for running and mountain biking and the roads of Vercors for roller skiing.

Your achievements: The 2022-23 season was incredible for me since I won the big crystal globe of the season in the World Cup and 2 small globes: the pursuit and the mass start.

Your job: I completed a CAP in Carpentry to become a Cabinetmaker in the future.

"I chose Authentic Nutrition for their wide range, varied flavors, quality products that perfectly meet my needs. I use the Booster + drink as well as the Flapjack during my preparation.
The little extra to help me compete in the winter is Authentic Récup, it allows me to optimize my recovery."
