10:38 : Even Dorotea “the machine” Wierer, the Italian who was among the favorites, investigates three faults on the last shot and sees her chances of a podium fly away. No joke Anaïs, no joke!
10:37 : The level of fire in the editorial staff while Anaïs Chevalier-Bouchet is still in the lead and the impregnable Norwegian Roeiseland has missed another target:
10:33 am : Anaïs Chevalier-Bouchet takes the lead after another clear shot! Five more targets for the Frenchwoman, but we can start preparing a push for the medal 😉
10:30 a.m. : We summarize the situation of our Tricolores: Anaïs Chevalier-Bouchet is in the fight for the podium, Justine Braisaz-Bouchet has just missed two shots and takes the lead in the race, the carrots are cooked for Anaïs Bescond (despite the cold of Beijing) and for Julia Simon, she left too late for us to be able to judge yet.
10:27 : Elvira Oeberg passes in front of the Norwegians. Anaïs Chevalier Boucher achieves a magnificent 10/10 and comes to threaten the Norwegians.
10:24 a.m. : It’s more about Anaïs Chevalier Bouchet that will have to be counted. Second clear round for the Habs, who find themselves second at the exit of the shooting range.
10:24 a.m. : Anaïs Bescond makes another mistake for her first standing shot. With already three faults (and as many penalty minutes that go with it), we can make a cross on the podium, barring a miracle, for the Habs.
10:23 : Justine Braisaz-Bouchet in turn achieves a clear round on her first prone shot. The race is now dominated by the Norwegian Tirill Eckhoff.
10:15 a.m. : It’s much better for Anaïs Chevalier-Bouchet, who achieves a faultless performance on the shooting range. The Frenchwoman finds herself in the lead pack, in provisional 2nd place.
10:15 a.m. : No, Anaïs Bescond who has blue spots on her nose and cheeks did not dress up as a panda, but put Vaseline on her face to protect her skin. We remind you that it is a little -15°C on the heights of Beijing. It does not work for her, with two missed shots, she receives a two-minute penalty.
10:10 a.m. : A good omen for our Blues? While it does not blow a wind to mess up a panda, the Norwegian Marte Olsbu Roeiseland has already dropped a minute penalty after missing a target. The big favorite is perhaps less imperial than expected.
10:03 : Let’s go for Marte Olsbu Roeiseland! We will see during its passage how the wind is. On Saturday, the squalls greatly hampered the competitors when shooting (in addition to the cold, which forced them to wear bigger gloves). No wonder there are plenty of wind turbines in the area.
09:59 : How is this race going, concretely? The 89 competitors set off over 15 km, the longest distance for women in biathlon. On the program, 4 shots: one lying, one standing, one lying, one standing. For each error, no penalty lap, but one minute which is added to the athlete’s time. The one with the fastest time will win the gold medal. And we very much hope that it will be a Frenchwoman. Biathlon is simple, isn’t it?
09:57 : If you want to shine at the coffee machine (after the extended Zoom meeting), know that the first competitor to start is the Norwegian Marte Olsbu Roeiseland, leader of the general classification of the World Cup.
09:58 : If you discover the event, tell yourself that it looks a lot like a cycling time trial. Each competitor starts every 30 seconds. If you’re in a never-ending Zoom meeting with your bosses, here’s when to look up at the TV:
– Anaïs Bescond leaves at 10:05 a.m.
– Anaïs Chevalier-Bouchet at 10:06 a.m.
– Justine Braisaz-Bouchet at 10:12 a.m.
– and Julia Simon at 10:22 a.m.
Each of the competitors has 45 minutes on paper, not counting the penalties in the event of a missed ball.
09:59 : Hello Thomas, hello everyone! How about we talk about prone shooting and planting the stick for a big hour in the live this morning? That’s good, we’re going to follow the women’s individual biathlon race together, with no less than four chances of a tricolor medal.
10:00 a.m. : Skis on foot and rifle in the back, Pierre Godon joins me in this live to make you experience the women’s race in biathlon. Let’s go !
09:45 : This is the image of this Monday for the France team. Here is the podium of Johan Clarey, silver medalist on the downhill.
(FRANCE 3)
09:40 : “He’s an incredible man!”. Silver medalist in downhill at 41, Johan Clarey is not only a symbol of longevity, but also an inspiration to other French skiers. Portrait in this article.
09:33 : If you are wondering what the french touchwhich pleases the public so much, Fabian Bourzat, partner of Nathalie Péchalat in ice dancing, explains: “It’s rare to see French people skating on threadbare tracks like Carmen. We have a much more creative side. The Americans and Canadians will first seek to score points. We, with Nathalie, were looking to do different things.” Among other things, the duo skated on the theme of Tarzan or the soundtrack of Fabulous destiny of Amélie Poulain.

09:30 : “At the beginning, it was my wife Olivia who opened the fan mail. But we received a lot of panties, it quickly became awkward. My sister quickly took over.“
By his own admission, Philippe Candeloro’s fan club was much more active in Japan than in France. “There were thousands of us wanting to know everything about him, says Yayo Matsumoto, the president of the fan-club, still active today. I took things in hand, I went to a specialized library to retrieve articles from French newspapers. I didn’t speak a word of your language, so I then paid for a translation service. Google Trad and its emulators didn’t exist at the time.”
09:35 : The most beautiful love story of French skaters is them. Asian fans – mostly Japanese, Chinese, a little have a special relationship with the French skaters. By Philippe Candeloro, the pioneer of French touch on ice, to Kevin Aymoz, representative of the Blues on the Beijing ice rink, all unleash passions on the continent. I explain why in this article.

07:02 : Finally, The Team made its cover on the interview with Peng Shuai, the tennis player whose enforced disappearance had shocked the whole world.
07:26 : “I really put everything in. I’m exhausted from the week. When you push hard, there are bound to be small faults. It’s more speed faults than anything else. Whatever happens, I’m great happy with the way.”
At the microphone of France 2, the new medalist savors.

06:29 : It smells very good for Johan Clarey. The French veteran, 41, should win the silver medal in the men’s downhill. There are still a few competitors to pass but they should not modify the podium!
