• The Tokyo Olympics are already the third day.

  • During this 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,

Another night to hang yourself at the top of the bell tower of Notre Dame when you want cocorico and tears of joy in the tricolor camp.

We hope that it will end as well as yesterday and the improbable medal of Romain Cannone in fencing, because for the moment, it is not the joy. 

The night of the French

Vincent Luis, who has been crushing the triathlon for four years, has come through, diminished by a checkered preparation and an injury kept secret.

A new gold medal planned in the gait chart which flies away.

In swimming, the men's 4x100 relay and Marie Wattel had given rise to hope in the semi-finals, but they did not do better than the round of 16.

For the rest :

  • Defay eliminated in the round of 16 in surfing

  • Lembach and Barder eliminated in women's saber, Brunet in the quarter-finals

  • Mertin and Pauty eliminated in men's foil, Lefort in 16th

  • Tomac and Ndoye-Brouard eliminated in the 100m backstroke semi-final

  • Les Bleus du hand beat Brazil in the pool (34-29)

  • Wiet-Hénin exit in Takwondo

  • Eric Delaunay in the men's skeet final

The star of the night

It is not the swimmer who attracts the most attention, but who can claim to be as dominant in his discipline as Adam Peaty?

The British brewer, unbeaten on his favorite distance since the accession to the throne of Elizabeth II (2014 in real life) again swallowed his competitors in the final, finishing his 100m breaststroke with two stations ahead.

Impressive

Picture of the day

The communicative joy of the trainer of the gifted Australian Titmus, who unbolted the Ledecky statue on 400. We heard him yell from all over the press gallery

I can't wait for the montage of these coaches reactions when the #Olympics are done.
