On the menu for this Wednesday, July 28 in Tokyo, a slew of events on the water with rowing and sailing in the early morning.
In cycling, we will follow the demanding time trial at the foot of Mount Fuji.
Other medal-winning French judokas, Margaux Pinot and Axel Clerget, are to be followed on the tatami mats as well as five Blues matches in football, handball, volleyball and basketball.
Ask for the program!
The possible consecration of French rowing in the night
Three finals are to be followed around one in the morning in Tokyo Bay.
For rowing, six French women are entered on the waterways of the Sea Forest Waterway, Hélène Lefebvre and Élodie Ravera Scaramozzino for the sculls event, followed by the scours with Margaux Bailleul, Violaine Aernoudts, Marie Jacquet and Emma Lunatti.
On the men's side, Matthieu Androdias and Hugo Boucheron qualified for this last outing on a stretch of water that ultimately did not suffer the vagaries of Typhoon Nepartak.

Rémi Cavagna and Juliette Labous in the saddle at the foot of Mount Fuji
On the menu of the timed circuit of the time trial around the Fuji International Speedway for our two French cyclists in the running: a fast descent followed by technical roads that will lead to an ascent of 5 km, including a last with a gradient of 6.3 %.
Heavy weather, both in terms of heat and rain, does not guarantee them the best conditions.
Juliette Labous is to be followed for the women (at 4:30 am) and Rémi Cavagna (at 7:00 am) for the men.
Clerget and Pinot to continue the judokas harvest, the tennis players aim for the quarterfinals
On the tatami mats, Axel Clerget (men -90 kg) and Margaux Pinot (women -70 kg) will seek to do as well as their flag bearer Clarisse Agbégnénou, who went to get the gold medal she was waiting for.
On the tennis courts, Jérémy Chardy will tackle his third round against the Briton Liam Broady, just like Ugo Humbert against the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas (from 4 hours).
A shock semi-final against the United States for 3x3 basketball
The French women's quartet of the discipline newly integrated into the Games may not have expected to arrive at this stage of the competition.
But they are indeed in the semifinals, thanks to a qualification (14-16) against Japan.
This is the opportunity for them to take their revenge on the Americans who won the match (10-17) four days ago.

Les Bleus competing in football, basketball, handball and volleyball
It is Laurent Tillie's men in volleyball who will enter the track first at 7 am.
Supposed to have left in commando mode after obtaining a bronze medal in the League of Nations the day before the Olympics, the team first suffered a defeat against the Americans and then returned to success against the Tunisians, both in three sets .
Meetings against the "death group" continue with Argentina.
On the football side, the Olympic team of the Blues will try to do even better than the crazy victory (4-3) they won against South Africa, this time against the Japanese from 13:30.
A roughly similar situation for the French basketball team.
Very proud of the field last Sunday after their feat at 83-76 against the American giant, they will have to stay on the same line against the Czechs.
Start of the match 1:30 p.m.
After the handball players who were not strong enough against the Spaniards (28-25) on Tuesday, their male counterparts will meet another European opponent, Germany, for their third group match at 2:30 p.m.
Our TV advice
If you don't hang with the 3x3 basketball, don't turn off the TV at 10:30 am!
This is the final of individual equestrian dressage.
Even if France has no representative, it is always pleasant to admire the rider on his mount, in perfect communion.
Rigor and precision are part of this discipline included in the program of the Olympic Games since the 1900 edition in Paris.
The German riders will be expected after winning the team gold medal on Tuesday.
