PYEONGCHANG, South Korea, Feb 20 (AFP): Martin Fourcade became the most decorated French athlete in Olympic history on Tuesday as he helped his country to gold in the biathlon mixed relay in Pyeongchang.
It was the 29-year-old's fifth Olympic title -- and his third in South Korea -- as France took the relay title ahead of Norway, in silver, with Italy winning bronze.
Fourcade also won two gold medals at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
However, fourth-placed Germany launched an appeal immediately afterwards.
