Biathlete Lou Jeanmonnot and cross-country skier Mathis Desloges have been selected as France's flag bearers for the closing ceremony of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games, scheduled for Sunday, February 22nd, in Verona. This marks a historic first with a male-female duo representing the nation. Jeanmonnot, a World Cup leader in her first Olympics, has earned four medals, including two golds, one silver, and one bronze. Desloges, also in his Olympic debut, has achieved remarkable success, becoming the first Frenchman to win three cross-country skiing medals in a single edition, securing a silver in the skiathlon, individual free, and men's relay.
