• The fourth day of the Olympics has been gone for a few hours already in Tokyo. 

  • The start was complicated for the French, since the basketball players fell from a height, no swimmer did not pass the halves and we lost our last surfer. 

  • There remains, however, Clarisse Agbegnenou, who passed her first two laps without incident and that we hope to see her on the top step of the podium at the end of the morning (French time). 

From our special correspondent in Tokyo,

We will end up believing that France remains the best place to follow the Olympics.

Not a perf to put in your mouths yet while you sleep peacefully, as if the Tricolores were waiting for things to rise in the country to shine.

Here's what you (didn't) miss last night.

The night of the French

We start with the big fail of the basketball players, beaten from the start by Japan, a team without any international reference.

Unable to take off, the Blues finally bowed 74-70 and severely complicate the task for the rest.

We will have to beat Nigeria and strike a feat against the United States to pass, or at least not lose too much to hope to finish among the best third.

Not much to save elsewhere.

Logical given the balance of power, but we did not have this little perf that would have brightened up our morning.

Swimming is always complicated, where Léon Marchand (200m butterfly), Charlotte Bonnet (200m freestyle) and Cyrielle Duhamel (200m medley) all took the door in the semi-final.

In surfing, the end of the trip for Michel Bourez, eliminated in the quarterfinals by the world number 1 Gabriel Medina.

Same punishment for Emmanuel Lebesson at the ping, for whom it was mission impossible in the face of Chinese terror Zhendong Fan.

Clarisse Agbgnenou, for her part, started her tournament well.

Ippon in 19 seconds against Cape Verdean Billiet, then a controlled fight against Dutch Janssen.

Direction the semi-finals for the favorite grandissime for the title in -63 kg.

He would have missed more than that, hey ...

🥋⚡✨ The golden dream continues for Clarisse Agbegnenou!

The star of the night

The United States has discovered a new star.

17-year-old swimmer Lydia Jacoby created the huge sensation of the morning at the pool by becoming Olympic champion in the 100m breaststroke.

An event that we talked about all evening in the States (on their time zone).

Jacoby was their very first swimmer from Alaska to qualify, and boom, she slams a title.

Finally work for the special envoys in Anchorage.

The funny morning image

Health protocol requires, the athletes are forced during these Games to put their own medals around their necks.

Slightly frustrating.

At least when you're duplicate, you can keep up appearances.
