Overview
- Émilien Jacquelin secured bronze in the men’s biathlon pursuit after two late misses at the final standing shoot cost him the lead, earning his first Olympic medal.
- France’s men’s cross‑country 4x7.5 km relay of Théo Schely, Hugo Lapalus, Mathis Desloges and Victor Lovera took silver behind Norway, lifting the national tally to 14 medals.
- By early afternoon, France stood fifth on the medals table with 4 gold, 7 silver and 3 bronze, one short of its Winter Games record of 15, according to Le Figaro.
- Biathlon remains the driver of the haul, with the team matching its seven‑medal record on Saturday and reaching eight podiums after Jacquelin’s bronze, per Le Parisien.
- Le Parisien later reported France had already equaled its all‑time total of 15 with a mixed snowboard cross bronze for Loan Bozzolo and Léa Casta, as the women’s pursuit and other events still offered further opportunities.
