Friday August 5 - 14th day

The French of the day

The first French athlete will hit the track this evening in the 50km free walk. It is about Yohann Diniz, whom one does not present any more and which one will abstain from associating a fiftieth time with the ordeal of Rio. The schedule, 10:30 p.m. at home, 5:30 a.m. in Japan, is also supposed to make life easier for athletes. Not sure that's enough. The Land of the Rising Sun is aptly named and by this time the sun is already starting to hurt, not to mention that dampness that is choking you. A little later, in modern pentathlon, Elodie Clouvel will try to redeem herself from her first failed day in fencing, as will the Valentins, Prade and Belaud. In track cycling, we will find Mathilde Gros in qualifying at speed. There will also be people in canoeing, kayaking and 10m diving for the heats. Finally,we expect a lot from women's hand and basketball in the Olympic semi-final after the clear round of the men's teams on Thursday.

The stars of the day

They are several but form only one team, the Americans will be eagerly awaited in the semi-finals of the Olympic basketball tournament, where they have the opportunity to imitate the men's team, already qualified for the final against France.

Besides, a double confrontation Blues against USA, that would be funny, right?

The improbable medal we want to believe in

The story would be beautiful.

A day after Steven da Costa's gold in boys, French karate dreams of a new medal in the women's tournament.

It will be harder, because Leïla Heurtault does not leave quite with the same status as her counterpart, but there is reason to believe it, if only a little: the karateka recently obtained a bronze medal in the European championships.

With a little extra soul, it can make an Olympic podium.

The reading tip of the day

Why not redo our two afternoon lives?

In volleyball and especially basketball, it was hot for our Blues.

We vibrated with you, and it deserves to remake the film cold.
