MEDAL JO. With only one silver medal on the clock in these 2022 Olympics, the French team is downgraded in the medal standings, dominated by Norway.
No new medal for the French team in these 2022 Olympics. Expected, Perrine Laffont did not retain her Olympic title and did not offer the first gold medal of these Winter Olympics. With only one silver medal in biathlon during the mixed relay, France slipped beyond the top 10 while Norway, with already two titles, prances at the top of the medal table.
Norway, the big favorite to finish in first place in the medal standings, started these 2022 Olympics with a bang with two gold medals in skiathlon and in the mixed relay in biathlon. By taking second place, the Blues also enter the table.
The Blues hope to obtain more than 15 medals in these Winter Olympics in Beijing and beat the record of Sochi and Pyeongchang. The campaign starts well with money for the mixed relay.
As a reminder, before the Olympics, Gracenote had predicted 17 medals for the French team, the count:

- Alexis Pinturault in combined
