ANTERSELVA, Italy, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- France overcame a disastrous first leg that dropped them to last place, rallying to claim its first-ever Olympic gold medal in the men's 4x7.5km biathlon relay at the Milan-Cortina Games on Tuesday.
After Fabien Claude was sent to the penalty loop in the first leg, France's remaining three athletes staged a remarkable comeback with steady shooting and fast skiing. The French quartet clocked a winning time of 1:19:55.2.
