As obvious. Biathlete Quentin Fillon Maillet, double Olympic champion and triple silver medalist, was designated French flag bearer in the Olympic stadium in Beijing, Sunday February 20 from 1 p.m., for the closing ceremony of the 24th Olympic Games.
A just reward for the great man of the French Olympic delegation in 2022, who brought five of the fourteen provisional medals to the tricolor balance sheet. Announced on the French team’s Twitter account on Friday February 18, this news came after its fourth place on the mass start, thus completing two weeks of competitions for the biathletes.
