France had another extraordinary day at Paris 2024 with the help of Léon Marchand, Teddy Riner and BMX.
Leon Marchand Power 4
Léon Marchand wins his fourth event and fourth title at the Paris Olympics. The 22-year-old French athlete won the 200m mixed championship and broke the Olympic record; Léon Marchand became the first Frenchman in history to win four individual gold medals at the Summer Olympics.
the legendary teddy rena
in the Legends. Teddy Riner defeated Kim Min-Jong in the +100kg final to win the Olympic title for the third time in his career. This Saturday, he will compete for his fifth Olympic gold medal in the team event.
Incredible BMX hat trick!
This was unheard of for France at the Olympics in a century. Joris Daudet, Sylvain André and Romain Mahieu scored hat-tricks in BMX. Three Frenchmen missed Tokyo: this time, they did it!
Florent Manadu without clothes
The incredible Florent Manadu. Despite a mediocre start, the Frenchman won bronze in the 50m freestyle event. It was his fourth medal at this distance in four different Olympics.
Romain Dicko missed out on her dream
As in Tokyo, Roman Dico was able to mobilize again. The French judoka lost in the semi-finals of the over-78kg category, but eventually won the minor finals and won the bronze medal. Obviously, there were tears and disappointment for the Habs, who were coming for the gold medal.
Equestrian Bronze
The Blues followed up silver in the all-around with bronze in show jumping, their second medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. France trailed England and the United States with seven penalties.
Charline Picon completes her collection
They could win the gold medal… they ended up with the bronze medal. During the week in Marseille, Charline Picon and Sarah Steyaert missed out on medal contention in the 49er FX single sculls. The French women’s team ended up winning the bronze medal. Charline Picon is the Rio 2016 Olympic windsurfing champion, Tokyo 2021 silver medalist and now has every metal medal under her belt.
Two new medals confirmed for boxing match
Clearly, French boxing did well at the Paris Olympics. On Friday, Billal Bennama defeated the Cuban team Claro Fiz by split decision from the judges (29-28, 28-29, 27-30, 29-28, 29-28). The French advanced to the semi-finals, just as 92kg fighter Jamili-Dini Abdou Moinze defeated Ecuadorian Congolese Chala in the quarter-finals (30-27, 30-27, 29-28, 28-29, 29-28)).
Football world gets closer to medals
Although it was difficult, the French men’s football team still took revenge on Argentina. The Blues defeated Bordeaux with the smallest advantage (1-0). Thierry Henry’s side reached the last four.
Basketball player beaten
Of course, the French men’s basketball team has entered the quarterfinals. But Vincent Collet’s men were still far from a medal. In the group stage, the Blues faced a very good German team (85-71). Awaiting France in the quarter-finals may be Canada.
Felix Le Brun will fight for bronze
There was nothing Felix Le Brun could do. Against Fan Zhendong, ranked second in the world, the 17-year-old French player was corrected (11-8, 11-7, 11-6, 11-5). The French table tennis player will have to digest the disappointment quickly to secure a bronze medal on Sunday.
Swordsmen fight each other
An incomprehensible slap. The French men’s epee team, which was eliminated in the semi-finals, hopes to console itself with a bronze medal. Although they led 35-31 at the start of the final relay led by Yannick Borrell, the Blues ultimately lost to the Czech Republic (43-41).
Axel Etienne in Tokyo
Things are not looking good for Axel Etienne. As in Tokyo, the Frenchwoman finished seventh in the BMX event. After a poor start, the Habs were never able to catch up and settled for second place.
Maxime Grousset, medal direction?
After withdrawing from the 50m freestyle final, Maxim Gruset preferred the 100m butterfly. It was a good decision for the Frenchman as he won the semi-final and will be one of the favorites for the title at this distance.
Too far from the podium
In the men’s synchronized 3-meter springboard final, the Chinese team won the gold medal ahead of the Mexican and British teams. Medal hopefuls Jules Bouye and Alexis Blanchard of France finished fifth.
The ultimate expert’s victory
at last! After two losses and one draw, the French men’s handball team is regaining its color. Guillaume Gill’s team defeated Argentina (28-21). The Blues need just one win to advance to the quarterfinals.
Already a French track and field record
The 4x400m mixed tricolor relay performed well in the series. The tricolor relay of Mohamed Abdallah Konta, Louise Maraval, Theo Andante and Amandine Brosier broke the French record and advanced to the final.
In archery, mixing has stopped
Disappointed with Archery. The French pair of Baptiste Addis and Amelie Cordo were eliminated in the round of 16 at Invalides. The Blues lost against Italy.
