Friday July 30 - day 7

The French of the day

After the silver foil medal, it is hoped that the male swordsmen will do, at least, as well.

And given the armada (Yannick Borel, Romain Cannone, Alexandre Bardenet), we would face off if we did not have a medal at the end.

Same thing with BMX, where three Blues (Joris Daudet, Sylvain André and Romain Mathieu) are in the semifinals and will fight for a medal at the end of the night.

In judo, Teddy Riner (we'll talk about it later) and Romane Dicko can make us vibrate.

We are also counting on Boris Neveu in K1 and we will follow the entry into the running of Florent Manaudou and Mélanie Hènes in the pools.

Co-sports will also have their place, with women in rugby VII, basketball players, volleyball players and handball players.

The star of the day

How not to talk about Teddy Riner?

We know very well that our patriotic fiber will lose us one day, but, there, we cannot do otherwise.

Ten times world champion, double Olympic champion, the Guadeloupe will aim for a historic third gold medal in a row this Friday, in Tokyo, in the temple of judo.

Despite a complicated preparation, with a knee injury, Teddy Riner will still be the favorite of the +100 kg.

The medal that we (really) not expect

We are announcing a rather gloomy French athletics team, with not much chance of a medal.

So, to make all these beautiful people lie a bit, and to launch the team in the best possible way, Morhad Amdouni is going to get us a nice podium.

Yes, even in the face of the Kenyan and Ugandan armada.

Make us dream of Morhad.

The other events not to be missed

It is therefore the return to athletics this Friday.

Enough to have an eye everywhere.

We will be entitled in particular to the qualifiers of the 100 m and 110 m hurdles women.

For those who are rather adept at throwing, we will have the qualifiers of the disc (M) and the weight (F).

In women's football, we get to the heart of the matter, with an enticing Netherlands-United States from the quarter-finals.

And then, for the beauty of the eyes, you will have a good look at the trampoline, with our French Léa Labrousse.

The reading board

It's a bit of our hobby, team fencing: three runners, nine assaults, 45 touches to win.

We vibrate like never before.

And, in addition, France is rather very good in this discipline.

So, we advise you to read this article by Julien Laloye, our special correspondent in Tokyo, who took great pleasure with the foilists on Thursday.

And who, this Friday, will vibrate with the swordsmen.
