Quentin Fillon Maillet, who wants to "write the history" of his sport at the 2022 Olympics, is approaching the empyrean of French biathlon after his silver medal in the sprint on Saturday.
With a third podium at the Beijing Games, "QFM" skis in the footsteps of Martin Fourcade, three times medalist at the same Games in 2014 then 2018. He can even surpass him with three new chances of medals (pursuit, relay and mass start ) before the end of the 2022 Olympics.
In the meantime, Fillon Maillet is already settling in the heights of the hierarchy of the 17 multi-medal winners of French biathlon:
