Alexis Pinturault and Mathieu Faivre, the best chances in giant
After his fall and injury to his right shoulder on the combined last Thursday, the reigning world champion is back on his skis this Sunday on the giant, a discipline he is particularly fond of (18 World Cup victories).
Even being reduced, Alexis Pinturault will still try to get a medal for the tricolor clan.
The reigning giant slalom world champion, Mathieu Faivre, Thibaut Favrot and Cyprien Sarrazin are also involved in this race.
The first round will be at 3:15 a.m. and the second at 6:45 a.m.
Quentin Fillon Maillet, the pass of four?
This weekend is definitely placed under the sign of biathlon.
After his second place in the sprint on Saturday, Quentin Fillon Maillet will have another chance to shine in Beijing in the men's pursuit (12.5 km).
Fabien Claude, Emilien Jacquelin, Simon Desthieux are also involved in this race (11:45).

Cross-country skiers looking for a medal
After Les Bleues' fifth place on Saturday, it's the men's turn to start their 4x10km relay this Sunday (8 hours).
Richard Jouve, Hugo Lapalus, Clément Parisse and Maurice Manificat are part of the French quartet and have a chance of getting on the podium.
The Habs remain on two Olympic bronze medals in this event, in Sochi (2014) and Pyeongchang (2018).
The Nordic countries are favorites to win gold.
Tess Ledeux, for the Olympic coronation?
After her second place in freestyle skiing in the Big Air category last Tuesday, Tess Ledeux will compete tonight in Freeski slopestyle, for the qualifications.
The first run is at 3 o'clock, the second is at 4:01.
Favorite, the French should pass these qualifications without incident to finally try to get Olympic gold during these Games.
"I managed well and I feel ready," she explained in comments reported by the team.
Its competitors have been warned.
Margot Boch sets off in a bobsleigh
Margot Boch starts her round 1 in monobob from 2h20.
Reigning junior world champion in two-man bobsleigh, Margot Boch has a chance of winning a medal in this discipline, which is taking place for the first time at the Olympics, for women.
Unlike traditional bobsleigh, all entrants use the same device... and are therefore judged solely on their pilot quality.
