France’s Justine Braisaz-Bouchet never led at any point in this evening’s Nove Mesto Women’s 12.5 km Short Individual; at one point, trailing teammate Lou Jeanmonnot by 46 seconds. With a clean final standing stage and a hard-fought last loop, she finally prevailed for a 35.50.3 victory, 1.4 seconds faster than runner-up Jeanmonnot. Tonight’s one-penalty victory was Braisaz-Bouchet’s first win and podium of the season and her first in a Short Individual, and like teammate Eric Perrot now has a victory in every discipline.
