Gold may well be a safe haven, France has decided to stockpile silver in Beijing.
15th in the 2022 Olympics medal table with four times the same metal, the French delegation can thank Tess Ledeux, the only medalist of Tuesday night.
The French: Tess Ledeux number two
The Frenchwoman thought she had the right end in the Big Air final, and so did we.
With her double cork at 1620° – a rotation of four and a half turns – and a switch in 1440, she flew over the first two rounds of the competition.
Everything cooked, we thought.
But that was without counting on Eileen Gu.
The latter won in extremis with a total of 188.75 points, 0.75 points more than Ledeux, who collapsed in tears in the finish area when the results were announced.
Olympic money, it remains classy.
Let's raise our heads, Tess.
In alpine skiing, it is less good.
Alexis Pinturault acted as a big odds on the morning Super-G, and there was no miracle.
The best skier in the world in title, in addition penalized by an unfavorable bib, did not do better than 11th.
He does not even finish with the title of best Frenchman, which goes to Blaise Giezendanner (9th).
But Pintu isn't worried about what's to come: “There are going to be great trials behind.
" We believe in.
The star of the night: a Nathan Chen record
The American lit up the short program and the judges with it, who decided Chen deserved nothing but a world record for his top-flight performance on the Beijing rink.
With 113.97, he is five points ahead of Yuma Kagiyama.
Kevin Aymoz ranks tenth before the free.
