Antoine Dupont, 27, is the captain of the French rugby sevens team. The scrum half won an international tournament in Los Angeles.

A first since 2005 for French people aiming for gold at the Paris Olympics. The French team won its first international tournament since 2005, on March 3, beating Great Britain in the final by a score of 21 -0. Dupont has become the philosopher's stone that transforms metal into gold. He is the conductor of French Olympic hopes. The Blues relaunched this year with an interim rugby.
