The Latest: France's Fourcade goes for 4th Pyeongchang medal

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):

6:40 p.m.

France's Martin Fourcade will go for his fourth Olympic gold medal on Friday night in the men's 4x7.5-kilometer biathlon relay.

The event begins at 8:15 p.m. local time (6:15 a.m. EST.)

Fourcade could become only the second biathlete to win four gold medals in a single Olympic Games, joining Norway's Ole Einar Bjourndalen, who accomplished the feat at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.

Fourcade and Norway cross-country skier Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo are the only athletes who've won three gold medals at the Pyeongchang Games.
