Simon Desthieux (FRA), 7th in pursuit: “(Quentin Fillon Maillet)
he has been in his dynamics since the start of the Games, he has been doing things without really having any idea of what is really going on.
We are a bit in a world apart in this Olympiad with this bubble.
We meet very few people outside of all that.
I have the impression to live with him in the room, that he is in his little cocoon.
He will realize what he is doing today when he comes home, seeing the extent of what he is able to do in these Games. (...) Today, he is on another planet.
Shooting at 20/20 is amazing because it was complicated.
Of the 20/20, I don't think there was another today
(only one, the Italian Lukas Hoffer).

Emilien Jacquelin (FRA), 9th in the pursuit: “
Achieving 20/20 (shooting) in a pursuit at the Olympic Games is already a great performance.
And in today's conditions... I don't know how it was for Quentin (Fillon Maillet) when he was shooting, but it shows all the aggressiveness and determination he has on the firing line.
As Vincent Vittoz (coach of the French men's biathlon team) often says, it is those who want it the most who succeed and Quentin, every day, is the one who wants it the most.
And this race shows it again.
