Justine Braisaz (born 4 July 1996) is a French biathlete. She competed in the 2016/17 World Cup season, and represented France at the Biathlon World Championships 2017 in Hochfilzen.
Justine Braisaz began her biathlon career at the Saisies Sports Club. She quickly moved to the Nordic section in order to practice cross-country skiing and biathlon. During the 2011/2012 season, in the Cadette U16 category, she won the French Championship of cross-country skiing and the French Championship of Biathlon, in part thanks to her speed on skis. She moved to Biathlon fully in the following year representing the Junior category (U19).
During the 2012/2013 season, the first year in this category, Justine Braisaz was selected for the 2013 Junior World Championships in Obertilliach, Austria. She finished 46th in the individual race and 71st in the sprint.
The following year, she was promoted to the highest class at the Junior World Championships in Presque Isle (USA). She finished the individual race ranked 29th, 5th place in the sprint and 15th in pursuit. In the relay she placed 6th with partners Coline Varcin and Chloé Chevalier.
In the same year (2012/2013), she participated in the European Championships held in Nové Město, Czech Republic. She ranked 12th in the individual race, 18th in the sprint, 14th in the pursuit and 8th in the mixed relay with Chloé Chevalier, Dany Chavoutier and Clément Dumont. At the French Championships held in Prémanon in December 2013, she won two French Champion titles (Sprint and Pursuit). In March, she managed to climb into second place of the Mass Start behind Julie Cardon during the French Biathlon Championships. Her progress was of such a magnitude that she managed to earn her place to compete with the best French biathletes in the summer events of the Biathlon Summer Tour.
For the 2014/2015 season, she joined the French Youth / Junior Biathlon Team. In the first stage of the 2014/2015 season of the IBU Cup in Beitostølen, Norway, Justine Braisaz took her first podium finish with a second place in the second sprint.
