Tess Ledeux in the final, Alexis Pinturault on the track, the biathletes want to continue… At what time and on which channels to watch Tuesday’s events?

Another busy program for this 4th day of Olympic Games in Beijing. It will start at 2:15 a.m. on France 2 with the men’s short program in figure skating before continuing with the women’s Big Air freestyle skiing final at 3 a.m., the women’s snowboard parallel giant slalom at 3:40 a.m., then the men’s Super G at 4 a.m. . Later in the morning, at 9:30 a.m., we can also follow, among other things, the men’s 20 km in biathlon with, again, good chances of medals for the tricolor delegation.

3h45: freestyle skiing – women’s big air on France 2

A first Olympic medal for Tess Ledeux? The young Frenchwoman will try on Tuesday to complete her collection of medals. At 20, the tricolor champion secured her place in the final, despite a fall, by winning 2nd place in qualifying in the big air event on Monday. The skier from La Plagne is the favorite in this discipline, but nothing is won in advance. She will face tough opponents, such as Canadian Megan Oldham who dominated qualifying. After gaining experience since her 17th place in slopestyle at the Pyeongchang Olympics, Tess Ledeux seems determined to bring a first gold medal to the French delegation.

4 hours: alpine skiing – men’s super-G on France 2

Pinturault’s hour? The winner of the last Alpine Skiing World Cup is more than expected during these Olympics. For the moment, his start to the season is hesitant. The opportunity is great, at the Olympic Games, to reverse the dynamic and prove that it remains a reference in world skiing. But they are a few to run for gold, starting with the Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and the Swiss Marco Odermatt who have monopolized the podiums since the start of the season. Only 13th in the discipline for the moment, just ahead of his compatriot Matthieu Bailet, Alexis Pinturault will find an outsider position which will perhaps serve him. And will have the opportunity to prepare ideally for its specialties, the combined (Thursday February 10) and the giant slalom (Sunday February 13).

9 a.m. (qualifications) and 11:30 a.m. (finals): cross-country skiing – men’s and women’s free sprint

The French cross-country skiers are back, along with the sprint specialists on Tuesday. Richard Jouve (27) and Lucas Chanavat (27) dream of a podium after a great season in the World Cup in the discipline (three podiums for Richard Jouve, two for Lucas Chanavat). On the women’s side, the French, absent from the podiums this season, will have to surpass themselves to hinder the Swede Maja Dahlqvist or the American Jessica Diggins.

9:30 a.m.: biathlon – 20 kilometer men on France 3

After the first medal offered by biathlon to the French delegation during the mixed relay on Saturday, the latter hopes to double or even multiply the bet. With representatives as well ranked overall in the World Cup (Quentin Fillon Maillet 1st, Emilien Jacquelin 2nd, Simon Desthieux 9th and Fabien Claude 12th), the ambition is more than legitimate. But it will still have to face fierce competition, and in particular that of Norway.
