After my result in sprint, I knew that I had my chances for the race today but it’s always difficult to concretize… During these two last days, I remained concentrated, especially on the shooting which determines a lot the final result.”
“About the race, after my last passage in the shooting range, I knew that I played for the medal, my ski was good.
As of the first lap, I felt that I had a very good glide on the skis and this allowed me to be concentrated on the other things. This medal is a great feeling and a good experiment… I hope to live again such a moment in the next days!”

Feb, 13 2010
The biathlete from Villard de Lans offered today to France its first Olympic medal! After a perfect shooting and a fast ski on the track, Marie, 23 years old, took the bronze in Sprint!
"I am really happy about this competition. I already made a 10/10 in the shooting, but today, I was also very good on the skis. I never think I could take a medal today. I didn’t think to the result, only the manner of making the course. Since the beginning of the week, I had the feeling to be on holiday. My main goal of the season was already achieved: to be in the Olympic relay. And then at the beginning of this sprint, I said to myself that it was important nevertheless! I was little bit stressed at the beginning, but once in the race, I forgot that".
