Lou Jeanmonnot

Lou Jeanmonnot is a French biathlete who has achieved significant success in the 2026 Biathlon World Cup season. She is currently newsworthy for winning the overall World Cup title (the "gros globe de cristal") in March 2026. Recent events highlight her dominance in the sport, including securing the overall title before the end of the season and winning the small globe for the pursuit discipline. While her teammate Julia Simon won the small globe for the mass start, preventing Jeanmonnot from achieving a clean sweep of all individual titles, the French team collectively dominated the World Cup, winning all available globes, including the relay. This success has led to discussions about the strength of the French biathlon team and the lack of competition from other nations. Jeanmonnot's achievements mark a historic season for French biathlon.
