Is France late or ahead? In the time of passing the medal record or not? If you’re wondering, you’ve come to the right place to find the answer.
In real time, day by day, follow the evolution of the number of medals of the French delegation at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Games compared to previous editions.
If the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) and its president Amélie Oudéa-Castéra have not, strictly speaking, set the number of medals to achieve, the objective is to integrate the top 5 nations, which means that it will be necessary to optimize the number of gold medals and, inevitably, do better than during the last Winter Games.
In Sochi in 2014 (4 gold, 4 silver, 7 bronze) and in Pyeongchang in 2018 (5 gold, 4 silver, 6 bronze), French athletes brought home 15 medals, which allowed the French delegation to climb into the top 10 but still a respectable distance from the five best nations in the world.
We will therefore have to do better, much better, during these Games in northern Italy to join the leading quintet. For comparison, during the last three editions (Sochi, Pyeongchang and Beijing), each time it was necessary to collect at least 8 gold medals – and around twenty charms in total – to appear in the top 5.
This is undoubtedly the numerical objective for the Blues to leave Milan-Cortina having achieved the goal set by the CNOSF.
