Julia Simon was destined to be an Olympian. Born in 1996 in Albertville, the city that hosted the 1992 Winter Olympics, she was already skiing as a child in a village that had been completely transformed after the Games. The Alps loomed in the background. And the streets were lined with the five Olympic rings, a reminder of the event. Simon chose biathlon, the cross-country skiing discipline where you carry a rifle on your back and have to stop to fire and demonstrate your marksmanship. It quickly became clear that she had a bright future: she won French championships and World Cup events. Before these Games, she had already been a world champion several times. No one doubted her talent. And, in fact, she has already won two gold medals at these Games. But Simon carries a burden: a few months ago, she was found guilty of theft and digital fraud for using other people's credit cards. In her hometown of Albertville, she appeared before a judge who sentenced her to three months in jail, a sentence she could not serve due to her lack of a criminal record. If the crime was already serious, it was made even more so by the fact that the people she robbed were teammates on the national biathlon team.
