Sunday February 13 – Day 9

The French on the menu

After restarting the engine on Saturday thanks to QFM, the French team can hope for a glorious Sunday if Alexis Pinturault and Mathieu Faivre manage to ski at their level in Géant, despite a small shoulder injury for the first, for the moment in difficulty in these Winter Olympics.

We will continue in the early morning with the cross-country ski relay, bronze medalist in 2014 and 2018, then finally with the biathlon.

The French women are starting from afar, since only Bescond has signed a top 10 in the sprint, but it's a whole different story for the men where Quentin Fillon-Maillet can win a fourth medal in the same Olympiad, a feat never before achieved, including understood by Martin Fourcade!

The star to follow

The American-Chinese Eileen Gu, new very political star of the Chinese delegation since her gold medal the other day after a Homeric duel against Tess Ledeux, returns for the qualifications in slopetsyle.

She is a little less strong there, and the French leaves with the advantage, but given the talent of the girl capable of landing a jump never attempted in training to win gold, we are not going to go too far.

The unexpected medal

Our cross-country skiers have been breaking our hearts for ten days, always placed, never without ever being rewarded, but we know they are capable of achieving the impossible in relays, as in 2014 and 2018, when they snatched the bronze medal at the expense of the great nations of the specialty.

Richard Jouve, Hugo Lapalus, Clément Parisse and Maurice Manificat will be at the start from 8 am to continue the beautiful story.
