Quentin Fillon Maillet secured the bronze medal in the mass start event at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics on Friday, February 20, 2026. This achievement made him the most decorated French Olympian with a total of nine podium finishes. Despite his historic win, Fillon Maillet expressed regret over his shooting performance, hitting 16 out of 20 targets, and stated he could have achieved a better result. He compensated for the shooting errors with strong skiing, ultimately overtaking Germany's Philipp Horn in the final stretch at the Antholz-Anterselva venue to claim third place.
