On February 18, 2026, the French biathlon team, comprising Camille Bened, Lou Jeanmonnot, Océane Michelon, and Julia Simon, secured their fifth gold medal in biathlon and tenth overall at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, significantly improving France's medal count. Despite an initial deficit from Bened's performance, Jeanmonnot, Michelon, and Simon's strong shooting and skiing propelled them to victory, finishing over 50 seconds ahead of Sweden. This win marks France's third relay title in biathlon at these Games. Meanwhile, American alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin ended her Olympic drought by winning the slalom, her first Olympic title in eight years, and Norwegian cross-country skier Johannes Klaebo achieved a record tenth gold medal at the Winter Olympics.
