Chloé Chevalier (born November 2, 1995 in Saint-Martin-d'Hères ) is a French biathlete . At the European Championships in 2018 , she won two titles in singles and in the pursuit.
Athletic career
Youth and junior area
Chevalier came to cross-country skiing through her sister Anaïs, who was almost three years older than her, when she was a child , joined the Club Omnisports des Sept Laux (where the Olympic champion Marie Dorin-Habert began her career) and switched to biathlon in 2010. At the age of 16 she took part in the 2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck and won the bronze medal with the French mixed relay alongside Léa Ducordeau, Fabien Claude and Aristide Bègue . In the youth and junior sector, she competed at the world championships in her age group from 2012 to 2016 . In addition to several top ten placings, she won the relay title with Julia Simon and Lena Arnaud in 2015 in Minsk-Raubitschy, as well as the bronze medal in the sprint, and another bronze medal in the 2016 Junior World Championships Persecution.
B-squad and World Cup appearances
At the start of the 2013/14 season , Chevalier took part in two sprint races of the IBU Cup for the first time. On her debut she finished 72nd, and a day later she was 25th and collected first points for the overall standings. In the same winter, she achieved a top ten position for the first time as sprint tenth in Obertilliach . As a result, she established herself in the French B-squad and received regular appearances in the IBU Cup. After she had reached the podium in a single race there, she was nominated for the first time for the World Cup in December 2015 (together with her sister Anaïs, who had already been regularly considered for the top series of competitions in 2013, but had lost her place after a long injury break) . Her first only appearance was on the Pokljuka as 69th of the sprint.
In the spring of 2016, the French ski association nominated Chevalier for the B-squad, but at the same time placed her in the provisional World Cup team for the coming winter. She used it to train in preparation for the 2016/17 season together with the first team athletes, which included her sister. Chevalier injured his thumb in a fall in an IBU Cup race in November 2016 and was behind in training. For World Cup events it was only taken into account again in winter 2017/18 . Her best individual result was a 20th place in the 15-kilometer race in Ruhpolding , with which she won her first World Cup points. On the same weekend she was used as the third runner in the French World Cup relay, which she led after a faultless shooting and handed over to Célia Aymonier in third place . After two penalty loops from Aymonier, the team dropped to ninth place. Two weeks after the races in Ruhpolding, Chevalier won the titles in the 15-kilometer individual and in the pursuit at the 2018 European Championships (in the absence of a large part of the world's best), and she also took the silver medal in the sprint.
After Marie Dorin-Habert's resignation in 2018 and Anaïs Chevalier's pregnancy break, the operational French A-squad at the start of the 2019/20 season consisted of only four athletes ( Anaïs Bescond , Célia Aymonier, Julia Simon and Justine Braisaz ). Chloé Chevalier, who won her first individual IBU Cup race in March 2019, received one of the two remaining starting places for the French association in the World Cup alongside Caroline Colombo and competed there for the first time in winter. In thirteen individual races, she reached the top 40 points eight times, her best individual result by far was an eighth place in the Kontiolahti sprint in the penultimate race of the season. Chevalier ran two relay races and stood with Simon, Braisaz and Bescond in Nové Město na Moravě as second for the first time on the World Cup podium, where they again remained without shooting errors. As the fifth-best French woman, she was in 53rd place in the overall World Cup at the end of the season and, with a hit rate of 86 percent, was one of the best shooters in the field. She also won the bronze medal in the super sprint at the European Championships .
At national level, Chloé Chevalier was successful several times with the relay: The three teammates successfully defended the title won in 2013 with her sister Anaïs and Marie Dorin-Habert in 2014.
