These Games are undoubtedly a success for Quentin Fillon Maillet.
After his second place in the mixed relay and his victory in the individual, the Habs won another silver medal in the sprint.
The seventh charm for the French clan in these Games.
For their part, the cross-country skiers finished twelfth in the relay, while the snowboarders missed each other during the night.
Here's what happened on Saturday.
Quentin Fillon Maillet in silver
He certainly has no regrets.
After his coronation in the individual, Quentin Fillon Maillet finished in second place in the sprint, behind the unbeatable Johannes Boe this Saturday.
After a fault on the lying shot, the Habs then refueled on the standing and won their third medal in Beijing.
Following his poor performance in the individual (72nd), Emilien Jacquelin made up for it by finishing ninth.
Despite three shooting errors, Fabien Claude finished in 21st place, while Simon Desthieux finished 23rd.
A fine provisional second place for Fillon Maillet!
Silver after gold for the Habs 🇫🇷?

Papadakis Cizeron in pole position
Introduction more than solid for Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron.
The French skaters largely dominated the rhythm dance event on Saturday, beating their own world record at 90.83 points.
They are more than two points ahead of the Russian duo Sinitsina - Katsalapov and almost four over the Americans Hubbel Donohue before Monday's free program.
Les Bleues 12th in the relay in the background
The tricolor quartet composed of LĂ©na Quintin, Delphine Claudel, Flora Dolci and Melissa Gal did not work miracles.
The French women finished in 12th place in the 4x5 kilometer relay this Saturday at the Beijing Games, 5″22″9 behind the Russians, crowned ahead of the Germans and the Swedes.
Big disappointment in snowboard cross
It is the fart of discord.
Favorites in the snowboard cross team event, the two tricolor duos Loan Bozzolo - Julia Pereira de Sousa and Merlin Surget - Chloé Trespeuch, silver medalist this week, were eliminated in the quarter-finals, when they entered the running in the competition.
And the cause of this disappointment is obvious: the snowboarders experienced problems with their glide due to a faulty wax.
The results of all the French people involved:
Biathlon: sprint, Quentin Fillon Maillet 2nd, Emilien Jacquelin 9th, Fabien Claude 21st, and Simon Desthieux 23rd.
Cross-country skiing: 4x5km relay with LĂ©na Quintin, Delphine Claudel, Flora Dolci and Melissa Gal 12th.
Snowboard: team cross with Merlin Surget, Chloé Trespeuch, Loan Bozzolo and Julia Pereira de Sousa.
Elimination in the quarter-finals.
Figure skating: ice dancing, Papadakis Cizeron 1st before the free program
