Cergy-Pontain Lebesson and Choletaise Yuan, world number seven, lost in four dry heats.

The mixed doubles, a new event in Japan, represented a unique opportunity for both of them to climb onto an Olympic podium.

Lebesson (33 years old and 40th in the world in singles) and Yuan (36 years old and 95th) are within a hair's breadth of their dreams.

They are still both qualified for the third round in individual.
