France lost another member of a team that, after the farewells in the male sector of the various Fanara, Missillier and Mermillod-Blondin, in the past few weeks had greeted a talent like Taina Barioz, stopped by a thousand injuries. A parable similar to that of Margot Bailet, another promise that failed to establish itself at the highest levels due to various stops, the last of which was the breaking of the cruciate ligament of the left knee, at the start of the Olympic season which forced the sprinter to tell goodbye to the PyeongChang Games. Here, after a last difficult year, and three weeks after announcing that he wants to try again despite the exclusion from the federal boards, Margot also raised the white flag, communicating the withdrawal from the competitive activity with 103 coins in World Cup, the first of which just ten years ago in the Tarvisio combined. "I no longer have the fire inside and the passion necessary to make the most of it," said the French descentist. "I lived a wonderful adventure, ten years in the World Cup and fourteen in the Equipe de France. Fantastic years and many stories and wonderful people known, that I will never cease to thank enough ".
