Tuesday February 8 - day 4

The French on the menu

Already, as much to warn everyone, there is no biathlon on the program this Wednesday.

This therefore necessarily reduces the chances of French medals.

But they are not zero.

There are a few, starting with snowboardcross.

The French remain on two medals in 2014 (bronze for Chloé Trespeuch) and 2018 (silver for Julia Pereira de Sousa Mabileau).

The two young women will again be at the start of the event with Manon Petit-Lenoir and Alexia Queyrel.

The other big event of the night is the women's slalom.

We will find Nastasia Noens.

At 33, she is playing her last Games with the hope of a nice surprise at the end.

In short-track, Quentin Fercoq and Sébastien Lepape will try to qualify for the 1,500m semi-finals.

Same thing for Gwendoline Daudet and Tifany Huot Marchand in the 1000m.

Finally, we will follow our five Frenchmen engaged in the Nordic combined (Mattéo Baud, Gaël Blondeau, Antoine Gérard, Laurent Mühlethaler and Edgar Vallet) and the young Liam Tourki in the halfpipe snowboard.

The number of the day

Six.

The American star, Mikaela Shiffrin can become this Wednesday the first skier to be crowned for the 6th time in slalom, Olympic and World Games combined.

After her fall during the giant, she also owes herself revenge on this event that she has mastered to perfection for years.

Back at her best level, the American legend will have to beat her great rival of the moment, Petra Vlhova.

The two women have shared all the slaloms this season.

The race we won't watch

Even if the pace is slower than during the Summer Olympics, we are still going to forfeit mixed two-seater luge.

We still prefer curling.

Nothing against the lugeurs personally, but in addition there is not even a Frenchman in the running.

And we are not going to help out for once because with our sled, rather our shovel for children, we would quickly risk humiliation.

Sorry.
