Publicity
More than a week of competition at the Tokyo Olympics and new emotions:
- With a new crowned sprint king in Japan.
He is Italian and his name is Lamont Marcell Jacobs, titled to everyone's surprise in the 100 meters.
South African Akani Simbine finished 4th in the race.
- Another crowning achievement, that of Caeleb Dressel in the 50-meter freestyle.
His 5th gold medal, which makes him THE star of these Olympic Games for the moment ... The opportunity to take stock of the swimming events in Tokyo.
- And then it's over for judo too ... Without any medals for the athletes of the African continent.
How to explain these poor performances?
We will take stock with Eric Mamruth, our special correspondent in Japan.
