At the 2026 Olympics, France achieved two more medals in ski mountaineering, with Emily Harrop winning silver and Thibault Anselmet earning bronze. Despite this success, the French delegation remains just below the podium rank, accumulating a total of 19 medals, which includes 6 gold, 8 silver, and 5 bronze medals. Emily's compatriot Margot Ravinel finished in 6th place, demonstrating the competitive nature of the event.

The current medal standings show Norway leading with 34 total medals, including 16 gold, followed by Italy with 26 medals and the United States with 25. This places France in a challenging position as they strive to improve their standings as the games progress. The nation’s performance, while commendable, reflects a need to elevate their competitive edge in this high-stakes sporting environment, especially in light of their close proximity to the podium.

As the Olympics continue, these results raise questions about France's overall strategy and support for winter sports, particularly ski mountaineering, which is gaining traction in Olympic circles. With several more events on the horizon, France will be looking for ways to secure a more significant place on the medal table and aiming for stronger outcomes in their future competitions.
