Money for Amandine Buchard (judo)
.
20 seconds on the ground that tarnish a magnificent day.
Amandine Buchard is adorned with silver in the under 52kg after a defeat in the final against Uta Abe, crowned the same day as her brother Hifumi.
🥋🥈 🇫🇷 What a disappointment!
Amandine Buchard, amazing so far, fell in the final against the Japanese Uta Abe.

Money for Sarah-Léonie Cysique (judo)
.
This beginning of the fortnight was marked by the exploits of French judo.
Cysique nevertheless retains a bitter taste.
She lost in the final in the under 57 kg because the referee judged that she had put herself in danger by falling head first to the ground.
🇫🇷🥋 Sarah-Léonie Cysique beaten in incomprehension in the final!
Sanctioned for a dangerous action, the Sarcelloise receives a red card.

Bronze for Manon Brunet (fencing)
.
At 25, she became the very first French sabreuse to win an Olympic medal.
A nice revenge after a 4th place in Rio difficult to heal.
🤺 Superb Manon Brunet who will snatch the bronze medal in the saber against the Hungarian Anna Marton (15-6) and takes her revenge after the Rio Olympics # Tokyo2020 #Olympic

Clarisse Agbégnénou (judo)
.
Riner broke, she didn't.
The standard bearer stepped on the competition and won the right to forget her loss in the final in Rio.
She lost money against the Slovenian Trsteniak, the one who had beaten her four years ago.

Bronze for Althéa Laurin (taekwondo)
.
His beautiful career went a bit unnoticed against Queen Agbégnénou.
The young taekwondoist however managed at 19 to eliminate the reigning Olympic champion in the quarterfinals before gleaning a bronze medal.
See you in four years for gold.
🇫🇷 Althéa Laurin takes the bronze medal in Taekwondo by beating the Ivorian Aminata Charlene Traoré!

The French pair Hugo Boucheron and Matthieu Androdias won gold, breaking the Olympic record!

Claire Bové and Laura Tarantola (rowing)
.
Qualified in a very tough final where the British and Italians had alternately broken the world record the day before, the 2019 European vice-champions achieved a sensational final.
This is the second female medal in the history of French rowing at the Olympic Games.
🇫🇷🥈 FRANCE WINS THE SILVER MEDAL!
An incredible ending with an unbearable suspense.
👏 Laura Tarantola and Claire Bove come a few hundredths behind the Italian Olympic champions.

Madeleine Malonga (judo)
.
Money that laughs, but also money that weeps.
Madeleine Malonga was taken to the ground at the start of her final by the Japanese Hamada in the -78 kg final.
A final dispatched in less than a minute to the greatest regret of the Habs, world number one and 2019 world champion.
🇫🇷🥈 Disappointment for Madeleine Malonga!

Women's foil team (fencing)

Blaze, Guyart, Ranvier and Thibus took the team silver after a crazy day, between a fantastic comeback against Italy in the half and a failed final against Russia.
It is the first medal for France in the discipline since 1984.
"We went to look for it. In the semi-final it was not easy, we really struggled to come and get this medal"

Bronze for Romane Dicko (judo)
.
Like Riner, she was also aiming for gold, but at 21 years old, winning 3rd place in the under 78kg category is not ridiculous.
Defeated in half by Cuban Idalys Ortiz, Olympic champion in 2012, she will be eagerly awaited in 2024 at home.
🥋🇫🇷 The nightmare is over!
Romane Dicko offers a medal to the French delegation!
After many disappointments today, here is finally a medal!
She offered herself bronze at only 21 years old!

Bronze for Riner (judo)
.
Difficult not to speak of disillusion, difficult not to greet this new Olympic medal either.
Able to re-mobilize after his surprise elimination in the quarter-finals, Teddy Riner went to win a 3rd place, as in 2008. He defeated the Japanese Hisayoshi Harasawa, his rival in the 2016 final in Rio.
🥋🇫🇷🥉 It will be bronze for Teddy Riner!
It is also in these moments that we recognize the true champions.
The French put aside the frustration to win the bronze medal against the Japanese Harasawa.
