Well, we're not going to oversell you the thing.
For us Tricolores, this Olympic night will not remain in the collective memory.
French night
It was as exciting as those of Andorrans or Malawians who are Olympic fans.
No athlete in skating or slopestyle… Let's quickly move on to the next section.
The perf of the night
Zoi Sadowski-Synnot is a heroine.
At 21, the young snowboarder offered the first Olympic gold in the Winter Games to New Zealand, in slopestyle.
And National Day please.

Dressed all in black, the Kiwi born in Sydney, Australia, mourned her opponents, with a run that came close to perfection at 92.88 points, ahead of the American Julia Marino (87.68 points) and the Australian Tess Coady (84.15).
"ZSS" does not come out of nowhere, since she is, among other things, double world champion in the discipline.
She also won a bronze medal in the big air at the Pyeongchang Games four years ago.
The failure of the night
This was to be the high point of this beginning of the day (at Chinese time).
But Aeolus did not want it.
After three postponements, the men's downhill was simply canceled, for "safety and fairness reasons", according to the organizers.
The race will take place on a date yet to be determined.
Representing the athletes to the International Ski Federation (FIS) at the age of 41, Johan Clarey approves of the decision: “We are all ready to run a little later rather than running in this lottery, launched on France Télévisions one of the four Blues engaged in the discipline.
In the space of ten meters, the wind changes 180°.
On the same portion, it may be from behind for some runners, and from the front for others.

The wind… Remember this name, we haven't finished talking about it in these Olympic Games.
