After the failure of the girls in the sprint, the Blues will be keen to resume the forward march of the French in biathlon, in the wake of a Quentin Fillon Maillet in great shape.
For the duo Gabriella Papadakis-Guillaume Cizeron, the hour of truth has come in ice dancing.
Find the complete program of the tricolors engaged in Beijing this Friday, February 11.
Times are given in French time.
Fillon Maillet is always hungry
Quentin Fillon Maillet is still not satisfied after his title in the individual on Tuesday.
The French will also aim for gold in the sprint (10 a.m.), this Saturday, hoping not to have left too many forces in the media solicitations.
He could have given ideas to the rest of the tricolor collective, who would like to contribute to the harvest of biathlon medals: three medals in four races.

Time for revenge for Papadakis-Cizeron
In 2018, a costume problem had cost Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron dearly: favorites for the Olympic title in ice dancing, they had to settle for the silver medal.
In reconquest, they launch their Games with the rhythmic dance (12h) and aim for the only title that is missing from their list, after four world and five European crowns.
Team snowboardcross medal goal
After Chloé Trespeuch's fine silver medal, France will be one of the favorite nations in the snowboard cross team event (quarter-finals from 3am).
The Blues were allowed to field two pairs in the event, which is practiced in mixed duets.
Trespeuch will evolve alongside Merlin Surget, 5th individually, while Julia Pereira de Sousa, also 5th, will be associated with Loan Bozzolo.
