Overview
- After the sprint in Le Grand-Bornand, Justine Braisaz-Bouchet told ZDF the situation is "very hard" and confirmed she deleted all her social-media accounts.
- She said she received threatening messages, including violent language about her young daughter, and a teammate said death threats were sent last week.
- Braisaz-Bouchet reported sleep disruptions and said she is stepping back online to protect herself and relatives and to refocus on training.
- Despite the strain, she finished seventh in the sprint with the second-fastest ski time at the French World Cup stop.
- The abuse traces to October’s court case in which Julia Simon was accused of repeatedly using teammates’ bank cards, and Braisaz-Bouchet answered cautiously when asked about the current team mood after Simon’s return.
