Never three without four. Every day its section “QFM“. On the menu for this Sunday, February 13, a new gold medal, acquired in dantesque conditions on the chase (12.5 km). Imperial in shooting, the Frenchman Quentin Fillon Maillet achieved a faultless performance and won his second Olympic title after a first success on the individual.
Two bronze medals complete the French harvest of the day, in cross-country skiing relay, and in giant with Mathieu Faivre. France now has 10 medals on the counter.
Quentin Fillon Maillet power 4
Henri Oreiller, Jean-Claude Killy, Martin Fourcade and Anaïs Bescond must bow. By winning the pursuit in Zhangjiakou, Sunday February 13, Quentin Fillon Maillet became the Frenchman with the most medals in a single edition of the Winter Olympics thanks to his four coronations. Since the start of the Olympic fortnight, the Jura player has been walking on water with four medals and above all two Olympic titles (individual and pursuit).
Faivre, giant in Beijing
Mathieu Faivre is a man of the big appointments. A year after his two gold medals at the Worlds, the Niçois went to seek the bronze medal in giant slalom at the Beijing Olympics. The French could not do anything against the favorite Marco Odermatt, in gold, and the surprise Slovenian Zan Kranjec. Thibaut Favrot and Alexis Pinturault finish in the same time (2’11”04) and share 5th place.
The men’s cross-country ski relay still very tanned
Third in Sochi in 2014 and in Pyeongchang in 2018, the French torchbearers signed the pass of three in Beijing. Richard Jouve, Hugo Lapalus, Clément Parisse and Maurice Manificat climbed on the third step of the podium to bring an additional medal to the Blues.
