• The Tokyo Olympics have officially started a few hours ago! 

  • During this second morning (night in France), the Blues saw high hopes for a medal fly away but it should smile by the end of the day.

  • A little recap of everything you need to know about the events of the night while drinking your coffee this morning. 

From our special correspondent in Tokyo,

There was room for a little better, but the second night did not smile more than that on our French athletes, who had to settle for the chocolate medal in skateboarding, which made a remarkable entry into the Olympic program. with a title for Japan

The night of the French: Hip hip hip le Ping

This is the performance we weren't especially expecting in Tokyo.

The qualification of our mixed doubles table tennis players in the semi-finals after a knife game against Hong-Kong, with a match point in passing.

Take that the FFL.

As expected, Buchard also laughs, who sends ippons to ippon on the Budokan side, where she is already in the semi-final.

It is much darker in fencing where Yannick Borel and Ysaora Thibus, the two leaders of the men's épée and the women's foil, are already out.

Our meager hopes rest only on Bardenet and Cannone, qualified in 8th for the boys.

For the rest :

  • - Cornet eliminated in tennis girls

  • - Le Bouch held on to the golden score against Abe, in vain (boys judo)

  • - Vincent Millou came close to the medal in skateboarding in the final (4th)

  • - Léon Marchand 6th in the 400 medley final in swimming

  • - Marie Wattel exploded the French record in the butterfly half (final tomorrow)

  • - Goberville and Lamolle 8th and 7th in the 10m pistol final.

🇯🇵 Did you just wake up?

The stars of the night

Andy Murray was not one of the big favorites of the men's tournament, but it was when reading his forfeit that we remembered that the Briton was two reigning Olympic champion.

No thanks for taking the racket just to beat Herbert and Mahut, Andy.

Otherwise we also said goodbye to the legend of the 400 4 female swimmer.

Three-time Olympic and nine-time world champion Katinka Hosszu got off to a great start but stalled to the end, finishing 5th, in a race won by Japanese Yui Ohashi.

The world record that fell

Big favorites, the Australians won Olympic gold for the third time in a row in the 4x100m relay.

The Australian quartet of Bronte Campbell, Meg Harris, Emma McKeon and Cate Campbell smashed their own world record, dropping it from 3m30s05 to 2m32s81.
