It's official! France has broken its medal record at the Olympic Games! This year in Milan-Cortina, the haul is particularly impressive, especially thanks to biathlon, where French athletes continue to shine. On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, the men’s relay team secured the nation's first medal of the Games — a stunning gold, making it the fifth gold for France at these Olympics and the ninth medal in biathlon overall. An extraordinary achievement!
Will we stay at 16 medals? Not necessarily, as several days of competition still lie ahead, wrapping up on February 22. If France manages to add to its tally, breaking the record will become even more challenging, but the French team thrives on challenges, and there's every reason to believe that hosting the Games in 2030 will inspire athletes even more—just as they were motivated during 2024. For now, the delegation is aiming to crack the top 5, and to do so, they'll need to secure more Olympic titles.
Everyone's backing the French team!
