And one more medal for French fencing.
It is not yet at the level of judo and its eight medals, but the five comings of the blades will undoubtedly largely satisfy the French, especially if the last one is in gold.
The French team foil team qualified for the Olympic final on Sunday morning, after beating Egypt in the quarter-finals and then Japan in the semi (45-42).
Erwan Le Pechoux, Enzo Lefort and Julien Mertine made the difference against the Japanese at the end of the match, after being hooked in the first part.
🤺💥 A new insured medal for the 🇫🇷!
Erwann Le PĂ©choux allows France to beat Japan 45-42 to join the Russians in the team foil final.
It will be at 12:50 # Tokyo2020 #JeuxOlympiques
