French Marie-Laure Brunet signs her career first podium! 

23/Mar/2009

Marie-Laure, whose best result was a 4th place last season, achieved this week end in Trondheim her first podium on the World Cup Tour!
Indeed, the 20 year-old biathlete claimed 3rd place in the Pursuit raced on Saturday! After only one shoot missed in the final shot, Marie-Laure made a great ascent and gave it all to sign a first podium, one week before the Finales which will be held in Kanthy Mansyisk (Russia) this week!
"I am very happy because this is the first podium of my career in an individual race. It is a big day for me. I missed the final shot, but 19-of-20 is good shooting for me. I like the track and profile here, so my skiing was quite good."
