ZHANGJIAKOU, China : Norwegian biathlete Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold is leaving the Beijing Olympics as a precautionary measure following her late collapse in Sunday's pursuit race, where she ran out of gas late in the event before crashing to the ground at the finish line.
ZHANGJIAKOU, China : Quentin Fillon Maillet's hopes of a new Olympic medal almost came unstuck at the first shoot on Sunday when he found the path of his bullets blocked by ice in his magazine at a freezing National Biathlon Centre in Zhangjiakou.
As Olympic preparations go, it takes some beating. US biathlete Leif Nordgren watched his wife give birth to their first child via video call from the Beijing Games the day before his first race, after being apart from her since mid-November. His wife's due date was initially February 4, the day of the opening ceremony. "That was really cool," 32-year-old Nordgren said of watching the birth of his daughter.
ZHANGJIAKOU, China : Marte Olsbu Roieseland cruised to her third gold medal at the Beijing Games without much bother but the 31-year-old said she had not yet set her sights on her compatriot Ole Einar Bjoerndalen's record gold tally at one Olympics.
With a record-breaking performance, Quentin Fillon Maillet wins his second gold of Beijing 2022, this time in the men's 12.km biathlon pursuit, which took place on Sunday (13 February) at the Zhangjiakou National Biathlon Centre. The Frenchman also claimed the Olympic title in the 20km individual on Tuesday (8 February), as well as silver in the 10km sprint, and the mixed relay this past week.
Quentin Fillon Maillet secured his second biathlon gold medal of the Beijing Olympics by winning the 12.5km pursuit, taking advantage of a disastrous shooting performance by his rival Johannes Thingnes Boe. Fillon Maillet started the race 26 seconds behind leader Thingnes Boe after finishing second to the Norwegian in the previous 10km sprint race.
Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold has been given the all-clear after her bid for a medal in biathlon’s 10km pursuit dramatically unravelled due to exhaustion at the Winter Olympics in Beijing. The Norwegian was challenging her team-mate and eventual winner Marte Olsbu Roeiseland coming out of the final shoot but her bid to get on the podium quickly fell apart, as Sweden’s Elvira Oeberg surged past her to win silver ahead of Tiril Eckhoff.
