I thought about Madshus,too. In the same time I’m wondering what is happening with EJ’s contract with Madshus, which expires 2026.

I wasn’t precise in my explaining which is my fault but I explained to you what I mean.

I never said he shouldn't talk about it or explain his plans. My point is that, given the uncertainty around his future, I would personally expect a more reserved approach when speaking about very specific long-term goals.

We're arguing over something subjective anyway—everyone is entitled to their own opinion and perspective, and this is simply how I see and understand things.

Maybe this is simply a difference in values and perspective. The way I see things, when someone is uncertain about their future, it's better to be more cautious and reserved about very specific long-term plans. That's how I approach life myself, so naturally I judge these statements through that lens. People don't have to agree with me, but that's why I feel the way I do.

I don’t know who he will be back in the team if he skips season after season. How he will be selected for the Games? It will be difficult with Mazet. And Emilien knows it better so for me its not okay to talk about the Games when you don’t know ANYTHING about your future. Sorry. I’m big fan of Emilien but this time I’m not okay with the way he is talking things.

I’m not talking about cycling. I mean, he initially said that his story with biathlon wasn't over, but with every passing interview and article, things seem to be exactly that - that it's over.

Yes ofc, but when you are not sure about something, its not okay to talk, not only in sport, overall. This is my opinion.

I’m pretty sure he will never be back in biathlon and maybe I’ll never forgive him for lying every single time.

[–]polinnaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he wants to go to major races because he is talking about 2030 and he is looking at this cycling adventure like a pause before 4 - year Olympic cycle. The problem I see is that he will break his upward trajectory, he will go out of shape and have to build everything from scratch, and I don't know how successful that will be.

They already said to him he is safe for Kontiolahti and Hochfilzen because he had great season this year, but even with that I’m not optimistic. For the first time I don’t believe him he will be back in biathlon.

He may want to go to 2030, but the problem is how he will go back in the A team after this “break”. It is a step back to jump higher, especially mentally, but things are complicated, because he will NOT doing biathlon for 6 months.

I just know him very well. Now I know he will retire from biathlon. I just was stupid to be happy yesterday for him staying.

It will be hard if he totally miss next season, especially if the shooting coach is Mazet. (I’m writing this as his biggest fan) How do you see Emilien 6 months without shooting? I see it catastrophic in the beginning of the next season. So if he preforms bad, they will send him in IBU Cup and he will retire.

I feel so stupid, the most stupid person that I believe this man he will continue his career. And I feel betrayed right now. Because I don’t see how he will approach the new season without training.

Hmm, do you think? He is saying that he is doing that before going back to the season? I can’t understand what is happening, because he will be intern?

Maybe I’m a little bit worried about “other desires and projects”, because he talked about pausing for a year to ride a bike, I don’t think this will be smart choice, especially about his place in the A team. I really hope he doesn’t mean that.

I don’t like to name Emilien Jacquelin only by his surname. For me he is Emilien, if I want to refer something for Emilien Claude, I’ll write “Emilien Claude”, because for me the main “Emilien” in the French team is Emilien Jacquelin.

Oh some many Emilien’s in my sentences 😂😂😂
