Les Bleues are at the top of 3x3 basketball.
The French won gold and the French bronze at the world championship in Antwerp, Belgium, on Sunday.
To obtain the most beautiful of medals, Les Bleues beat the Canadians (16-13) at the end of a final which they largely dominated, in particular thanks to the success in shooting of Myriam Djekoundade, to win the first title of champions. of the world of their history.
The failure in Tokyo forgotten
It is a consecration for this team which had never climbed higher than on the third step of the podium.
Incidentally, the French took their revenge in the semi-finals (17-16) on the Chinese, who had deprived them last year of Olympic bronze at the Tokyo Games.
A real pride when we know where we come from and what we have done
World gold and bronze
These medals are for our families, our friends, our clubs, our partners and of course our beautiful nation 🙏 🥂
