Isibhamu sasihlezi cishe phakathi kwehlombe lika-Emilien kanye naleyo ntshebe ebukeka kabi iphuma ezihlathini zakhe: iso elibandayo langakwesokudla ligxile kusibonisi.
Izigqi zehla, ukuphefumula okuphefumulayo kwaba yisigqi, isigqi esivumelana nakakhulu. Kwaqhuma isibhamu sokuqala futhi ukubhonga kokuqala kwasakazeka emoyeni: kwase kunesikhathi eside ezwe injabulo enganikezwa yilawo mamitha angamashumi amahlanu kuphela.
Cishe iminyaka emibili ngaphandle komphakathi ayizange isenze sikhohlwe ukuthi i-grandstand ibaluleke kangakanani kulo mdlalo; futhi ngokuqinisekile kusazoba khona ukulinda, kodwa lapho u-Antholz noRupholding, amathempeli amabili angcwele i-biathlon, izobuya ikhanye ngamafulege nokuklabalasa, yonke into izoba imilingo kakhulu.
Masinyane kwaqhuma igalelo lesibili: kwaba umdanso. Umunwe wenkomba ongakwesokudla unyakaze ngokushesha nakancane phakathi kwesicupha nephephabhuku. Ngeyesithathu. Eyesine nayo imhlophe. Eyesihlanu manje yathathwa kalula. Wonke amafulegi ane-transalpine tricolor aqala ukundiza esuka emahlombe ka-Emilien. Kwakuyisiphithiphithi esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, esimhlophe nesibomvu.
Abaqeqeshi bajabula futhi u-Emilien naye wajabula, ngemva kokubuyisela isibhamu ehlombe lakhe, ubevele eqonde ekuphumeni kwenkundla. Ukubheka isiteji, izingalo esibhakabhakeni.
Kwakusasele amakhilomitha amathathu phakathi komfana waseFrance kanye nomugqa wokuqeda, kodwa kwakungamakhilomitha amathathu amnandi kakhulu. Naphezu kwakho konke lokhu, bekuwukulandelana kokugcina okwahlela umjaho omkhulu ka-Emilien.
Ngemva kokwazi ukuguqula iseshini yokugcina yaba uhlobo lomgubho wokunqoba, ukwazisa ngokugcwele iqembu le-Le Grand-Bornand, okwayizolo ngayizolo. wayejabule ngokunqoba enye intandokazi, uFillon Maillet, waqala ukuyofuna elinye lezinkulungwane zamafulege afaka umbala u-Annecy.
Lapho zibona umugqa wokuqeda, izingalo zayeka ukududulana futhi zawela phambi kwesifuba, ngokungenakugwemeka okukhumbuza injabulo ka-Mathieu Van Der Poel ngesikhathi sesigaba sesithathu se-Tirreno-Adriatico. Lezo zingalo eziphambanayo kanye nalowo moya odelelayo akumeli nje ukuthokoza ngokwenza okuhle, okuhle kakhulu. Kukhona okunye, okubaluleke kakhulu. Kukhona umbukiso.
I-biathlon yaseFrance yizwe eselikhula kakhulu, edlula eminyakeni embalwa kusukela ekubeni nomcimbi onjengoMartin Fourcade kuya ekubeni neqembu elingaphezu kokuncintisana lapho kungagqama u-Emilien (Jacquelin) kanye no-(Quentin) uFillon Maillet kuphela, kodwa kukhona no-Guigonnat, uDesthieux noClaude (i-Olympic relay kuzoba nobumnandi, hhayi kancane). Nomnyakazo osuvele ukhula ukuba nomsubathi ongakuniki isiqiniseko sokuwina, njengoba mhlawumbe i-Fourcade yenza, kodwa oqinisekisa ubumnandi, kuyingcebo eyigugu.
Ngoba kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kanjani, kunoma yikuphi u-Emilien uyohlale ethola indlela yokudlala ipholigoni enqumayo. Khona-ke kumelwe sivume ukuthi ukukhetha indlela yokubhekana nakho kusalokhu kungangabazeki: bheka nje izikhathi ezimbili ezedlule. Kuzo zombili izikhathi wayesenqume ukuphoqelela ukuhamba eqhweni futhi ukugomela isimo esikhulu somzimba kodwa-ke, wafika ngesikhathi esibucayi, wayelokhu ewonakalise umjaho. Noma yimuphi umsubathi ubengakhetha ukungazifaki engozini, anake lezi zigemegeme ezimbili, futhi athole ukudubula nabanye.
Kepha cha. Okwesithathu wakhetha indlela eyinkimbinkimbi: waqala waphusha kwabe kuvuleka igebe phakathi kwakhe nabamelene naye, kangangokuthi vele ethangeni lesibili iwashi lokudubula laqala ukuphawula kakhulu kunalabo ababemsukela.
Nokho, kulokhu, eyodwa kuphela kwezinhlamvu ezingamashumi amabili ezidutshuliwe yaphelela ngaphandle kwalapho bekuhloswe khona: ekugcineni isibhamu sase sinqume ukuba umngane wakhe. Kukhona abafunda emaphutheni nalabo abahlale bebuyela emuva. Bese kuba no-Emilien Jacquelin, okungenzeka ukuthi iphutha kube yilona elizofunda kuye.
U-Emilien Jacquelin ungumdlali we-biathlete waseFrance (owazalwa ngo-1995) okuthi, ngesizini yesihlanu phakathi kwabadlali abakhulu balo mdlalo, usengakwazi ukuziqhayisa ngezindondo zomhlaba ezingu-6, ezi-3 zazo izihloko zomhlaba, kanye nama-podium angu-26 eNdebe Yomhlaba (ukunqoba okungu-6) .
