After a very fine boxing match against his Cuban opponent, boxer Erislandy Alvarez Borges, the arm went up on the Cuban's side and Sofiane Oumiha thus becomes the runner-up Olympic champion of these Paris 2024 Games.
Nicknamed the virtuoso, Sofiane Oumiha had come to these Games in search of the Olympic title, the only one missing from his immense list of achievements, having already won a silver medal at the Rio Games in 2016 and two world championship titles, in Belgrade in 2021 and Uzbekistan in 2023. I can't be happy with a silver medal because it's not what I came for", explained the French boxer who will not be competing at the next Games in Los Angeles in 2028.
Sofiane Oumiha had won the last round for three judges out of five, but unfortunately it wasn't enough and the Cuban won. With this new medal, France wins its 51st medal and maintains its 3rd place in the medal rankings.
