Find here all of our live #JO2022

12:32 p.m. : I’m alone but it’s champagne, well done Quentin!!! Cock-a-doodle Doo!!!

12:35 p.m. : I have just followed the live broadcast from the Netherlands, the commentator described Quentin Fillon Maillet’s performance as “phenomenal”. That’s the only word I understood by the way ? Come on Les Bleus!!

12:34 p.m. : Well, it is of no interest, but we go back to 10th place in charms

12:33 p.m. : And hop, I updated you the table of the “biathlon dependency” of France at the Winter Games 😉

12:30 p.m. : But what a race!!! What emotions!!! Thank you Quentin, thank you gentlemen!!!!????

12:28 : Bravooooooo Quentin he is giant ???

12:28 : If Quentin Fillon Maillet were a country, he would be 13th in the medal standings… ahead of France 😉

12:27 : Brilliant ! Well done ! Great! THEChampion. No words. Fantastic. Thank you.???????

12:28 : @Lucas Almost ! Quentin Fillon Maillet has won four medals at these Games, against six for the rest of the French delegation.

12:27 : Hats off to our athlete. Luckily he is there. On his own he has half of the French medals!

12:26 p.m. : It’s QFD! Uh no CQFM! CONGRATULATIONS Quentin

12:27 : QFM can still have a 5th and 6th medal with the relay and the mass-start!

12:25 p.m. : Whatever the result, these athletes command admiration. CONGRATULATIONS QFM!

12:25 p.m. : CONGRATULATIONS QUENTIN!!!

12:25 p.m. : On the podium behind Quentin Fillon Maillet, brother Boe, Tarjei, and Russian Latypov. Simon Desthieux will finish in a very fine place of honour.

12:24 p.m. : Cover it with gold! Quentin Fillon Maillot is Olympic biathlon pursuit champion, he won his 4th medal at the Beijing Games!

12:22 p.m. : Watch out for the comeback of Tarjei Boe, Johannes’ brother, who is pointing his nose at the window 26 seconds behind Quentin Fillon Maillet.

12:20 p.m. : That’s it, he can do the Boe, Quentin!!!

12:19 p.m. : We could say that Quentin Fillon Maillet is driving the point home after his very good start to the Games! That would give him two gold medals and two silver medals, enough to decorate the fireplace!

12:19 p.m. : Push push : Mallet hits hard!

12:18 p.m. : Yessssss?????? well done Quentin

12:18 p.m. : There it smells good and not only in the kitchen…..

12:18 p.m. : Olympic Champion ???

12:20 p.m. : Go Quentin, the whole Jura is behind you!

12:17 p.m. : BUT YESIII QFM which aligns the targets like at the carnival, while Latypov has missed a target! It feels the push of the gold medal!

12:16 p.m. : We are at km 9, there are 12.5 km to go in total, and there is still a standing shot, the most difficult!

12:15 p.m. : How much racing time is left? Live, the minutes stretch!!! (And the heartbeat races)

12:14 p.m. : . Monsieur Quentin, go, go, go! ?

12:14 p.m. : There are SEVEN SECONDS between Quentin Fillon Maillet and the Russian Latypov.

12:13 p.m. : and There you go. Thank you wind. But it might as well turn the other way on the next shot. It’s so hard for athletes in this kind of races.

12:13 p.m. : @Sat A minute behind “QFM” seems like a lot at this stage of the race. On the other hand, he still has a card to play for the podium.

12:21 p.m. : He can still finish on the podium, Boe?

12:12 p.m. : It’s not bad at all for Simon Desthieux, who is making a good comeback (but the gaps seem a little too big to me to go for the podium).

12:10 p.m. : Olalalala the wind thank you the wind!!

12:10 p.m. : Come on Quentin!!!! It will be ok !!!!

12:21 p.m. : Faultless for Quentin Fillon Maillet, who strikes a blow on the race! The Russian Latypov is in ambush at about ten seconds, we will tremble until the end!

12:09 : Johannes Boe misses the big widths on the launch pad, with three errors! The squall did not help, the pressure to see Quentin Fillon Maillet also arrives?

12:07 : @Marr Not at all, it’s part of the race. In the same way that it happened that a biathlete forgot balls and had to ask his coach, these kinds of small incidents are part of the game.

12:22 p.m. : Hello, the fact that Quentin lost time with his charger… will he recover the time lost on the counter?

12:06 : On skis, it is Johannes Boe who goes faster. The Norwegian is regaining time on our national QFM, around 20 seconds ahead now.

12:05 : It is noon. We make a new point on the news of the day:

Two more medals for France! The tricolor relay in cross-country skiing brought home the bronze, as did Mathieu Faivre who finished third in the giant slalom.

After a restless Saturday, 97 people were arrested in Paris and 513 verbalizations took place, according to the Paris police headquarters during the prohibited demonstrations of the “freedom convoy”. Checkpoints are still in place this Sunday on different axes of the capital.

Valérie Pécresse is holding her first major presidential campaign meeting today in Paris, with the aim of revitalizing a campaign that is slipping and which has been put on the defensive in recent days.

Diplomatic efforts marked by a frenzy of phone calls between Western leaders and Moscow have failed to ease tensions around Ukraine. The Kremlin denounced “hysteria” American and Joe Biden threatened Vladimir Putin with “severe and rapid repercussions” in case of attack.

12:03 : Checkmate for Emilien Jacquelin, author of three faults on the shooting range. His carrots are cooked, finally, frozen, given the weather in Zhangjiakou.

12:02 : More than 12 seconds behind for Quentin Fillon Maillet, author of a clear round. We had a little scare because our Habs had trouble loading his rifle before lying down on the firing line.

12:01 : @kat Absolutely, and when it’s too cold, biathletes put on thicker gloves, which complicates the moment when you have to load the rifle and aim…

12:22 p.m. : Hello Pierre. Is it the cold that penalizes them??? Fingers that can go numb for shooting???

12:00 p.m. : Oh, small event, Johannes Boe missed his first two shots on the couch. Enough to put “QFM” back in the race!

11:58 : It’s extremely close for 3rd place, according to the score of km 3.4.

12:22 p.m. : Let’s be honest. There now, the race will be decided by luck. Those who manage to pass between the gusts and the others.

11:57 : @Felis Catus Only 14 of the first 40 competitors managed to clear the race, which is unusually low. You have to see the terrible weather conditions, too.

11:57 : Wow, this first shot is a slaughter!
