MEDAL JO. The France team is close to its record in the Winter Olympics with 13 medals on the clock.
[Mis à jour le 17 février à 08h44] The record broken? With 13 medals on the clock and with three days left in these 2022 Olympics, France is close to its record of 15 medals. With good chances of medals by the end of these Winter Olympics with biathlon, ski cross or even the team event in alpine skiing, France can hope to move up the rankings. With 4 gold medals, the French delegation is stuck in 10th place. At the top of the medal table, Norway is by far the leader just ahead of Germany which has chained the titles in luge, skeleton and bobsleigh.
Another change in the medal table of these Winter Olympics. Norway, favorites to finish first in this ranking, are again at the top of the table while France return to the top 10.
The Blues hope to obtain more than 15 medals in these Winter Olympics in Beijing and beat the record of Sochi and Pyeongchang. With 13 medals on the clock including 4 gold medals, the Blues are on a good pace and can claim to beat the record of the last two Olympics.
