Hope it lasts !
The day of Sunday was rich in emotions for the French Olympic team, with the silver of the judokate Amandine Buchard, the incredible gold medal of Romain Cannone with the épée, and the authoritarian victory of the French basketball players against the United States to open the tournament.
This Monday, we will have to follow the swimming events closely, with two chances of a medal, but also the men's mountain bike final.
Judo, triathlon and fencing could still hold some nice surprises.
To be continued tonight
Parisian Charlotte Hym will try to impress the jury during the Street event, on a skateboard, to be followed from 1:30 am.
The French men's handball team must continue at 2 hours against Brazil after their inaugural victory against Argentina.
At 2:53 am, the French archery team, made up of Thomas Chirault, Pierre Plihon and Jean-Charles Valladont, will challenge the United States for a place in the quarterfinals.
In tennis, Fiona Ferro, the last French competitor in women's singles, faces the Spanish Sara Sorribes Tormo and will try to reach the third round.
Time for favorites?
After his failure in Rio in 2016, the triathlete Vincent Luis intends to repair the affront.
The double world champion is at the start of the men's event this evening at 11:30 p.m.
The arrival is expected around 1 a.m., and the 32-year-old Frenchman is among the favorites.
He will have a lot to do to distance the two-time British title holder Alistair Brownlee.
At 8 a.m., cross-country world champion Jordan Sarrou will be at the start of the MTB final, two days after his fall during the reconnaissance of the course.
At 28, Sarrou is also eagerly awaited in his discipline.
Like Vincent Luis, he is one of the main medal hopes for the France team on Monday.
They can create surprise
European vice-champion in 2019, Martin Thomas is at the start of the semi-finals of the C-1 canoe slalom, which start at 7 a.m.
Ninth in the playoffs, the French conceded penalties and could be well placed if he manages to avoid fouls.
Marie Wattel, brilliantly qualified for the final of the 100m butterfly with the second time of the semi-finalists (France record in the end), has a good card to play at the Tokyo aquatic center tonight (3:30).
🏊🇫🇷⚡ What a performance by Marie Wattel who explodes her personal best in the 100-meter butterfly semifinals!

Also in the Tokyo Olympic basin, the boys in the 4x100 m freestyle relay, second fastest in the heats, have nothing to lose and could play spoilers in the final scheduled for tonight at 5:05 am, with Florent Manaudou.
In table tennis, Jia Nan Yuan and Emmanuel Lebesson, defeated by China on Sunday, face Taiwan in mixed doubles to win the bronze medal.
In fencing, the French sabers Manon Brunet, Cécilia Berder and Charlotte Lumbach are to be watched from 3.45 am during the 32nd final.
In judo, where two French people have already won medals on Saturday and Sunday, Guillaume Chaine (-73 kg) and Sarah-Léonie Cysique (-57 kg) will be keen to imitate their comrades by winning a medal.
Guillaume Chaine starts at 4 o'clock, Sarah-Léonie Cysique, engaged from the round of 16, will be in contention at 5:05.
Finally, Enzo Lefort will try to maintain the good blue dynamic in fencing when he enters the field in foil (from 6:05 am).
Our TV advice
This Monday opens the final of the men's artistic gymnastics team all-around competition, and it promises to be spectacular.
If the France team is not there, the Japanese, reigning Olympic champions, will have a lot to do to keep their crown at home.
Russian Olympic athletes and China, but also the United States will be in the game.
The gymnasts will compete on six apparatus, including rings and parallel bars.
Particularly telegenic, combining finesse and power, the event is worth the detour.
From noon.
