For the French biathlon team, these Quentin Fillon-Maillet wins the Ruhpolding sprint”>Beijing 2022 Olympics are pretty good for the moment. After four events, the Blues have already recovered two medals, one in silver in the mixed relay during the opening event, then one in gold in the individual men’s 20 kilometer race. First Olympic champion of the Beijing Games for the France team, Quentin Fillon-Maillet has fulfilled his childhood dream by adorning himself with the most beautiful metal. Present in China, Martin Fourcade also said he was happy for his former teammate, designated as his successor on the Biathlon World Cup.
The time is not yet to party for the leader of the general classification of the World Cup. This Saturday, at 10:00 am French time, the Blues have an appointment with the sprint. Two shots, one lying and one standing, will be on the menu for shooting and 10 kilometers in cross-country skiing. Behind Fillon-Maillet, Emilien Jacquelin, Fabien Claude and Simon Desthieux will also try to win gold or a podium. There will also remain this need to be well placed for the prosecution. It will obviously be necessary to be wary of Johannes Boe, back in form after a generally missed season. Also watch out for Alexander Loginov, winner at Oberhof in January. Another concern: the snow conditions put the technical teams in difficulty with the waxing.
