It was a banner day for Team France on February 11, 2026, at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. In the women’s 15km individual biathlon, Julia Simon claimed gold ahead of teammate Lou Jeanmonnot, who took silver. In moguls, Perrine Laffont grabbed bronze, eight years after her PyeongChang triumph. The highlight came on the ice, where Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron won Olympic gold in figure skating.
Elsewhere at the Games, Switzerland’s Franjo Von Allmen made history. Already crowned in downhill and the team combined, he secured a third Olympic title in four days by winning the Super-G, becoming only the third man to complete the triple after Austria’s Toni Sailer (1956) and France’s Jean-Claude Killy (1968).
In football, managers are having a brutal spell. In Ligue 1, Roberto De Zerbi is no longer Marseille coach following a crushing 5-0 defeat in Paris. In England, Tottenham have sacked Thomas Frank after an 11th league loss.
Premier League heavyweights delivered: Manchester City beat Fulham 3-0 to pile pressure on leaders Arsenal, who play Thursday. Aston Villa edged Brighton 1-0, while Liverpool won by the same score at Sunderland.
Bayern Munich reached the German Cup semifinals for the first time in six years after a 2-0 victory over Leipzig.
And in tennis, Arthur Rinderknech fell in the opening round to Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Rotterdam ATP 500, while Alexander Bublik survived a tough test against Hubert Hurkacz.
