The French of the day
The day after the disappointing sprint day for the girls of the French biathlon, the guys in turn go to the coal to try to find gold (or silver, or bronze at worst).
Quentin Fillon-Maillet, who flies over the season like Martin Fourcade in his time or Johannes Boe not so long ago, is the favorite in the sprint.
But will he recover from the emotions of his first Olympic title?
In his wake, we do not forget Emilien Jacquelin, the man of a day, capable of great blows.
Even if we know him better in confrontation races such as the pursuit or the mass-start, the 2nd in the Biathlon World Cup is one of the favorites for gold.
Here is Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron again.
The skating star duo set off again in search of an Olympic gold medal missed by a thread (literally) in Pyeongchang, where they missed 0.79 points: damn dress, we don't forget you.
This year, there's no question of letting an outside element ruin everything, but the competition will be fierce.
Pay attention in particular to Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov, who have won everything for two years.
The star of the day
Can Kamil Stoch go for a fourth Olympic gold medal – the third on a large hill – on Saturday in ski jumping in Beijing?
If he succeeds, the Pole would join his compatriot Adam Malysz a little more in the pantheon of snow-covered gliders, if he has not already done so, the latter having never done better than silver at the Olympics.
Stoch, 6th in the competition on a small hill, has been going crescendo since the start of the Games.
Recently injured, his presence in China was uncertain for a long time, before finally being selected with the Poland team.
A context that would make a fourth Olympic success even tastier.
Paper of the day
Papadakis and Cizeron's coach, on the training camp for Russian skaters: “It's very military, very abusive even, in a way.
If I used these methods in Montreal, I would no longer have the right to approach children!
