The French phenomenon was part of the mixed relay team that took silver on Saturday.

Today, the 29-year-old followed it up with a nobler denomination.

Johannes Thingnes Bö stood, just like Fillon Maillet for two booms, but had to settle for a bronze medal when a flawless Anton Smolski won the silver.

Quentin Fillon Maillet has a brilliant World Cup season behind him, which he tops for the continuation after the Beijing Olympics.

No Swedish top ten

For the Swedish part, it was all the more difficult.

Martin Ponsiluoma opened briskly in the track, but once inside the shooting range, there were two barriers in the first lying for the 26-year-old.

However, he followed it up with flawless shooting in standing.

But after another boom in the last shot, Ponsiluoma, as the best Swede, missed the top ten - two and a half minutes behind Fillon Maillet.
