We were in China to follow his countless exploits, did you seriously think we were going to miss the epilogue of this crazy season by Quentin Fillon Maillet? No, for nothing in the world. After pocketing the sprint again on Thursday, the Jura, wide leader of the Biathlon World Cup ahead of his friend Emilien Jacquelin, will be crowned this Saturday (unless an improbable combination of circumstances). Basically, even if Jacquelin were to win today, QFM could settle for 23rd place to be crowned. A formality, therefore. After Patrice Bailly-Salins, Raphaël Poirée and Martin Fourcade, Quentin Fillon Maillet will therefore become the fourth Frenchman to lift a large career globe.
