The two French are positioned as serious candidates for the Olympic podium in a little over a month in Beijing. This is Richard Jouve’s 3rd World Cup podium this season with two 3rd places (Lillehammer and Davos), 2nd for Grand-Bornand cross-country skier Lucas Chanavat after a 3rd place in Dresden.
