These are indeed the silver Olympic Games for France! The seventh medal won this Saturday by the tricolor delegation in silver is the sixth in silver. It is Quentin Fillon Maillet, second in the sprint in biathlon, which allowed the Blues to turn the counter once more, stopped since Wednesday.
After silver in the mixed relay, and gold in the individual, Fillon Maillet is three medals away in three races. He has three events left (pursuit, mass-start, men’s relay) to become the first French athlete in history to win four medals in the same edition of the Olympic Games, and that seems perfectly within his reach.
France still 13th
In the ranking of medals, this silver charm does not allow France to improve its 13th place, since it is the gold medals that prevail. In this little game, the fight is fierce between Norway and Germany, the Scandinavians having regained control with their seventh and eighth titles, in biathlon (J.Boe) and ski jumping (Lindvik).
In the ranking of the total number of medals, France is also in the same waters, in 12th place, with the 7 podiums garnered. The objective of doing better than Pyeongchang’s 15 medals is badly on board, but not yet lost.
