Fillon Maillet consecrates himself in the male individual, fourteenth Windisch

In his best season, the twenty-nine year old Frenchman wins his first victory in a 20km race and does so in the Olympic race, taking home the gold medal on the day of Russian lost opportunities.

Quentin Fillon Maillet (0-1-1-0) imposes himself, despite the two errors, in the Individual of the Beijing Olympics by clearly marking the best time on skis where Johannes Boe is 21 seconds behind, the Russian Loginov by 37 and more than a minute the rest of the platoon. The Frenchman prevails with a lead of 14.8 over the Belarusian Smolski (0-0-0-0) and 31 seconds over Johannes Boe (1-0-0-1). The Russian Maksim Tsvetkov (0-0-0-1) can complain that at the twentieth target he feels the weight of the rifle and of the great enterprise; after a long hesitation he makes a mistake and throws to the wind the possibility of the Olympic title at his first appearance. For him the fourth place at 34.9. The Canadian Scott Gow (0-1-0-0) is fifth at 1.05.6, preceding the German Benedikt Doll (1-0-0-1), sixth at 1.07.1 Sixth place for the German Roman Rees (0-0-1-0) while a slow Tarjei Boe (0-0-0-1) is only seventh at 1.29.6 and precedes Fabien Claude (1-1-0-0) and the Russian Loginov (0-1-0-2) who throws it away at the last polygon and pays 1.40. with the tenth position. Dominik Windisch (0-0-1-1) confirms himself as the man of great events and is the best of the Azzurri with the fourteenth position at 2.38.2
