Sunday February 20 – Day 14
The French on the menu
This is the last great chance for a medal for the French delegation during these Beijing Olympics. The team parallel slalom event. The composition indeed makes you want to see what it looks like on the track, with Alexis Pinturault, Tessa Worley, Mathieu Faivre, Coralie Frasse Sombet, Clara Direz and Thibaut Favrot. After Saturday’s postponement, skiers are expected overnight from 2 a.m.
In 4-man bobsleigh, the French quartet (Romain Heinrich, Lionel Lefebvre, Dorian Hauterville, Jérôme Laporal) will be back this Sunday for the 3rd and 4th rounds. For now, the Blues are in 14th place after the first two runs. Objective top 10 from 2:30 am. Finally, we will find Delphine Claudel, Coralie Bentz, Flora Dolci for the 30km in cross-country skiing.
The star of the night
It was well worth a last croaking. And above all, a last lap in his honor in front of his compatriots. Quentin Fillon Maillet was appointed flag bearer of the tricolor delegation for the closing ceremony of these Beijing Olympics. It will take place this Sunday (1 p.m. in France). A just reward for the Jura, double Olympic champion in biathlon (individual and pursuit) and five-time medalist in Beijing, where he will have narrowly failed on a grand slam of medals. He succeeds another Olympic champion, Gabriella Papadakis.
The event of the day
It’s a match not to be missed even at 5am. The final of the men’s hockey tournament between Finland and the Russian Olympic Committee. The ROC hockey players will be looking to retain their Olympic title from PyeongChang 2018, where reigning vice-world champions Finland will be seeking their first-ever Olympic crown in men’s ice hockey. In the small final, Sweden will face Slovakia.
Paper of the day
He is back this Sunday to carry the French team to a final medal.
