Claude became the 23rd in the sprint race and the 21st in the persecution race. The firing of the athlete did not improve too much, so he completed the season ahead of time.
The following year, at the Olympic Youth Festival of Europe in the Polish shutter, Floran won a bronze award in the persecution race. In the same season, he participated only in the Junior World Cup in Canadian Kenmore. The best personal result was 7th place in the sprint race, which he finished with 3 faults. But together with teammates Clemen Jacqueline and Ludwig Ehrhart became the world champion in the relay.

At the stage in the Austrian Hochfilzen Claud competed only in sprint. However, it was not possible to improve your previous result. Also, 2 faults and not too good ski move again did not allow the athlete to break into the persecution race. As a result, 78th position.
Considering such not too successful attempts to enter the main team, Floran was forced to continue to compete at the IBU Cup level. However, this season cannot be called for Claude.

It was from the season-2017/18 Floran that he began to actively play at the World Cup stages. His best personal result was 9th place in the Pursuit race in German Obergof in 2022.

And in the season-2022/23 Claud took high 22nd place in the total standings, gaining 341 points throughout the season.
In addition, Floran is a 7-time champion of France (won titles from biathlon and skiing) and a 4-time Belgium champion. And in 2018, with Michael Roshem, he became one of the first Belgian biathletes to get the country to represent the country at the Winter Olympic Games.

Further sprint was much better in Poland. Claude became 28, earning 4 circles of a fine.
The stage in the Italian town of Nativeun-Val-Richane was marked by the first fall of the Frenchman to the leading 10.

I built a race from the turn to the turn and rejoice in that everything happened. This is my first pure shooting in your career! I don’t even know … I was just focused on every shot. I am proud of being part of such a strong team! Each of us wants to get to the World Cup in Antholka, so we have to work hard to earn a team. I hope next year we will be as strong! ”.

I still suggested many faults, so I simply continued the race without looping on two mistakes on the first shooting. Of course, it is unusual to overtake Johannes. I am proud of myself.
