It was flag day for the French national team on February 11, 2026 at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. In the women’s 15km individual biathlon, Julia Simon won gold ahead of teammate Lou Jeanmonnot, who won silver. In moguls, Perrine Laffont won bronze, eight years after her triumph in PyeongChang. The highlight happened on the ice, where Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron won Olympic gold in figure skating.
Elsewhere at the Games, Swiss Franjo Von Allmen made history. Already crowned in the downhill and team combined, he secured his third Olympic title in four days by winning the Super-G, becoming only the third man to achieve the triple after Austrian Toni Sailer (1956) and Frenchman Jean-Claude Killy (1968).
