LE SCAN SPORT – The king of tricolor biathlon had a big scare, before triumphing in the 10 kilometer pursuit.

Before triumphing once again and winning a second gold medal in these Beijing Olympics, Quentin Fillon Maillet almost lost everything when he reached the second prone shot of the 10 kilometer pursuit.

Second behind Johannes Boe at that time, he lost precious time and was quite annoyed.

The reason ?

His rifle thus remained blocked.

The quadruple medalist lost several seconds before he could shoot his first shot.

He then knocked on his rifle which ended up unlocking.

As an immense champion, “QFM” concluded this sequence with a five out of five before covering themselves in gold on this pursuit.
