11:06 : As they say in the excellent Megalomania, “he’s the oooor, monseignoooor”, the gold to leave you after the first Olympic title of the Blues thanks to Quentin Fillon Maillet! See you soon for the rest of the biathlon on our site!
11:03 am : Franceinfo followed Tess Ledeux as closely as possible on Tuesday for her first Olympic medal. A report by Apolline Merle can be found here.

10:58 : Note that in the ranking of medals, France takes 9th place… ahead of Norway. Revenge is a dish that is eaten frozen between the two biathlon strongholds 😉
10:52 : Good, for the collective jubilation on arrival, we will come back. The Team wrote this morning that there were hall drivers at the foot of the stands to help the Chinese public encourage the competitors. Did you say “spontaneity”?
10:51 a.m. : The impressive ski time of QFM 43:17, it sticks 21 seconds to JT BOE and 37 to LOGINOV
10:51 a.m. : Well done Quentin for this medal 🥇 cocorico 🇫🇷
10:51 a.m. : France wins its first Olympic title in Beijing thanks to Quentin Fillon Maillet, winner of the 20 km individual biathlon!
10:46 : Congratulations to Fabien Claude who will get a top 10 with an 18/20!
10:45 a.m. : Well done Quentin 🥇🥇🥇🥇👍👍👍👍
10:44 am : Biathlon: 3 races, 3 medals! And it’s not over…
10:44 am : We are still watching the Czech Karlik, sometimes he turns into Speedy Gonzalez on skis at the end of the course, but it smells very very very good!
10:44 am : Hello Who is still at risk of taking the gold medal from Quentin?
10:43 am : In the dentist’s waiting room, I wait impatiently for the announcement of the victory!
10:43 am : BRAVOOOOO Quentin! Thank you for this beautiful medal, it does good
10:43 am : “I wanted to take my revenge against Johannes Boe. I still find it hard to believe in this victory. With two faults, I didn’t imagine I could win, it’s really incredible.”
Quentin Fillon Maillet delivers his first impressions at the microphone of France 2.
10:41 a.m. : @Etavisco The other Tricolore is in 36th place, 7 tight minutes from Quentin Fillon Maillet. A race to forget for him.
10:41 a.m. : And Jacquelin?
10:38 : @Helen Even if it smells very very very strongly of the gold medal, we are not quite sure of the metal yet, so we will wait to be sure. Even if Seppala… is not where we could have feared him. The push should therefore not be long 😉
10:38 : It’s good… Send the push!!!
10:34 am : Quentin still in gold for the moment!!
10:34 am : It’s faaaaaaaaaaat! Belarusian Smolski fails 14 seconds behind Quentin Fillon Maillet on the finish line. It smells of gold more and more!
10:33 am : I advise you the Biathlon Results data centera bit off-putting in appearance, but so useful for keeping up with all the competitors at the same time.
10:33 am : Hello Pierre, First of all incredible QFM! But I would like to know where can we find the ski times of the runners in biathlon at the end of the races? Because even if QFM were to be exceeded (let’s not hope of course), its time must be Eeeeenormeee!!
10:31 a.m. : At km 18.9, Quentin Fillon Maillot is 12 seconds ahead of Belarusian Smolski! Needless to say, we’re preparing a golden push for in a few minutes!
10:30 a.m. : Note that Simon Desthieux may harbor some regrets. Despite his three faults, the Habs are currently firmly in the provisional top 10 on arrival.
10:34 am : @cyclo_ecolo Precisely, the Russian Loginov has just missed on the last standing shot. But the Belarusian Smolski (who skis with completely normal skis, you should know) managed a clear round after the fourth shot. We are going to watch his ski performance, he is 2 seconds ahead at the last score on our national QFM.
10:24 a.m. : Be careful in the retro anyway: Loginov, Smolski, Doll… 3 runners who can stay ahead of QFM… Not to mention Seppala who has not yet fired his first ball…
10:23 : But ouiiiii Quentin! Frenchman Quentin Fillon Maillet set the best provisional time, 31 seconds ahead of Johannes Boe!
10:21 a.m. : At the 18.9 km mark, Quentin Fillon Maillet is 30 seconds ahead of Johannes Boe. We’re not going to put the cart before the Boes, but it smells good for a podium!
10:18 a.m. : Beware of the Russian Loginov, who is ambushed with a small missed ball before his last shot, who left later, and who could cap everyone at the post. But hey, we’ll take care of the QFM race first 🙂
10:17 a.m. : @cyclo_ecolo We think so very strongly, but we can’t jinx our Habs! At 16.9 km, he is 22 seconds ahead of brother Boe.
10:16 a.m. : For the podium… and even for the title since Tarjei has (finally!) made a mistake!!!
10:17 a.m. : Quentin Fillon Maillet back in the game ! The French biathlete, author of a faultless on his last standing shot, ends with an 18/20 in shooting, like Johannes Boe. He is back in the race for the podium!
The writing, here, now:
10:13 a.m. : And at the top of the ranking, it is still the Russian Tsvektov who is writing the most beautiful page of the novel of his life (literary joke, I help you a little). This tragedian despite himself has just missed a ball, which puts his pursuer, the Norwegian Tarjei Boe in the race.
10:11 a.m. : In the defense of our biathletes, the two years of pandemic did not help to acclimatize to the Beijing circuit. The World Cup stage, scheduled last year to discover the site before the Olympics, was canceled due to Covid-19.
10:06 : @Felis Catus It is above all a test format that does not succeed in the Habs. But apart from Martin Fourcade, none has managed to pull out of the game over this (long) distance.
10:05 a.m. : It’s the first individual race of the Olympics, the very first for those who haven’t done the mixed relay, it’s a stressful moment, which can explain a few things, right?
10:11 a.m. : AIE Aie Aie ! Quentin Fillon Maillet concedes a new penalty for lying shot. With two minutes off his time, it will be difficult to get the medal…
10:04 am : bizarre race… The best skiers who drag on skis, the best shooters who miss each other and those who are good at both who make at least one mistake and open the door. At least it leaves some suspense. It will end in a triple Russian podium.
10:03 : Three faults for Emilien Jacquelin, game over for the Tricolor. All our hopes rest on Quentin Fillon Maillet now.
09:59 : @Atchoum The Finn Seppala leaves at 10:16 a.m., count about fifty minutes per competitor, so a big 11 hours for all the competitors to have crossed the line.
09:59 : Hello Pierre, at what time will the last competitor arrive?
09:58 : Desthieux falls back to Earth. Our Habs conceded two new penalty minutes after the standing shot, he is no longer in the race for the podium.
09:57 : @cyclo_ecolo Absolutely, while brother Boe has a reputation for being a rocket ship on skis, he is only 30 seconds ahead of “QFM” with one error less. Nothing is lost !
09:56 : He may have done flawlessly, but Tarjei Boe is strangely slow today… If our French continue at this pace, they will even have a margin ball against him…
09:55 : Quentin Fillon Maillet does not drive the nail in standing shooting, letting slip a ball on the way. He finds himself in provisional 4th place, our Habs.
09:53 : A clear round also for Emilien Jacquelin, who finds himself in provisional 3rd place after the first shot, 2 seconds behind Quentin Fillon Maillet’s time. We believe in !
09:49 : Well, the sky is not falling on his head but Simon Desthieux has just missed a ball on the first shot. The second tricolor engaged finds himself in 9th provisional place.
09:47 : Hello Pierre. It will be necessary to wait for the end of the “start list” to know the podium: even the last to start, the Finn Seppala, has his chance… unless all the favorites are at 20/20, in which case it is not there that Finland will win a medal (do you have it?) 🙂
09:46 : Quentin “Lucky Luke” Fillon Maillet finds himself in the first virtual place after a clear shot in lying down! As for the outsiders, the German Johannes Kühn no longer has a chance of doing well after having missed three targets on the first shot.
