Saturday February 5 – Day 1

The French on the menu

It was a relay that brought us immense joy four years ago, with a gold medal at the end for the Fourcade-Dorin-Desthieux-Bescond quartet.

The tricolor mixed relay has been completely modified since then, since it is now composed of Quentin Fillon-Maillet-Emilien Jacquelin-Anaïs Chevalier-Julia Simon, but the ambitions have not changed.

Go get a charm and preferably the most beautiful, in the morning in France.

Also to follow, Benjamin “Grospiron” Cavet, third in the qualifiers in mogul skiing and big outsider for the final at the beginning of the afternoon at home.

For whom the first medal?

Her name had been linked to an incredible case because of a positive steroid test in 2017. All the experts had accepted her explanation - the use of a lip balm containing Trofofdermin - but she was still suspended and deprived of the 2018 Olympics for "negligence".

Thérèse Johaug, multiple world champion in cross-country skiing, is the huge favorite in the skiathlon, the first event to award her medals.

But the Norwegian has been identified as a contact case in recent days and was only able to land in China on Wednesday evening, without barely having time to train in real conditions.

Suffice to say that a victory would mean a hell of a revenge on life for the young woman.

The star of the night

Will Mikaël Kingsbury still reign over the bumps?

The statistics of the 29-year-old Canadian are dizzying: Olympic champion in 2018 and silver medalist in 2014, nine consecutive world number 1 crystal globes, six world championship titles and 69 World Cup victories, close the ban .

Only a spinal injury last year interrupted the meteorite career of the maggot, which intends to enter a little more into the history of its sport in Beijing.
