From World Champion to Self-Discovery | Emilien Jacquelin Beyond Biathlon (ENG Sub)

Emilien Jacquelin is one of biathlon’s most intense competitors — but this portrait looks beyond results and race day.

In this episode of More Than a Biathlete, the French star opens up about pressure, mental challenges and learning to listen to himself. A two-time World Champion in the Pursuit and Olympic silver medallist, Jacquelin speaks with rare honesty about vulnerability, balance and self-awareness.

Away from training, we follow him through Grenoble as he finds refuge and inspiration in photography and music — tools that helped him navigate difficult moments and gain new perspective.

The portrait is enriched by voices from those closest to him:

Rémy Salacroup, high school friend and training partner

Corinne Jacquelin, Emilien’s mother

Antoine Licinio, close friend

Together, they reveal an athlete whose strength lies not only in performance, but in openness, sensitivity and growth.
