It's done! After an unhappy Rugby World Cup, Antoine Dupont finally has his greatest reward, having taken up 7-a-side rugby specifically for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The scrum-half is very clearly one of the architects of this first Olympic gold medal for France, on this first day of competition. The French team has already won three medals: one gold, one silver and one bronze!
A fine tournament for Les Bleus, who began on July 24 with a bumpy start against Uruguay, the USA and Fiji in the group stages, but which gave fans hope for the future. The French went from strength to strength, with an explosive 19-5 win over South Africa in the semi-finals. In the final, they had to face the terrible Fiji, victorious in the group stages, but above all, the only Olympic champions to date!
Well, that hegemony is now over, thanks to the seriousness of our valiant Frenchmen. At the end of the match, the Stade de France rose to its feet to celebrate its first Olympic champions of the 2024 edition of these home Olympics, which will undoubtedly continue to stir our emotions!
