It was under the rain that the short track cross-country races took place. This one gave a beautiful race full of bounce and fall… Pauline Ferrand Prevot did not give in and maintained her first place throughout the race to take the gold. For the men, our French athletes abstained from the race in order to save themselves for Sunday’s Olympic cross-country race, so it was the Australian Samuel Gaze who won.

Women
