Tokyo 2021 Olympics: Riner breaks our hearts, worst day of losing in sword and BMX

No words.

It started with the elimination of the swordsmen in the quarter-finals, who had won all the Olympic titles in the category since Sydney.

New fail of Yannick Borel after the individual.

The following ?

Three Frenchmen in the BMX final, zero medals, and a fall for Daudet who had almost assured bronze.

Finally, the blast of the night: Teddy Riner released in the heavyweight quarterfinals by Bashaev.

The world number 1 in the category did nothing in the fight, but a poorly controlled counter from the French gave him the victory in the golden score.

Teddy can still play bronze in the draft, like in Beijing, but he was imagining something else entirely.

U.S. too.

Containment and curfews implemented from this weekend in Reunion Island

Reunion Island follows in Martinique's footsteps and is reconfigured for two weeks from this weekend.

The prefect of the Overseas Territory, Jacques Billant, announced on Thursday that partial confinement would apply during the day to the department, which is suffering the full brunt of a new wave of Covid-19 contaminations, like many other territories of the West Indies.

"During the next two weeks, only establishments open to the public in which the mask cannot be worn continuously will be closed," said the prefect, citing restaurants, bars, sports halls and places covered with activity which will therefore have to cease all activity.
