  • A new medal tonight for France, and it is gold! Jean Quiquampoix took the title in 25-meter shooting. Relief for the handball players, who qualified for the quarterfinals thanks to their victory against Brazil, just like the basketball players, despite their defeat against the USA. Here are all the French results of the day.
  • For the rest of the program, we’ll have an eye on Samir Aït-Said in the gym, and the eventing in horse riding, our biggest medal chances of the day. Here is the whole program.

Follow the events of the day live:

9h25. Another beautiful moment of the night, with the vital victory for the French women’s handball team. Les Bleues qualified for the quarter-finals thanks to a convincing success against Brazil. We tell you everything here.

9h10. Sacred at 25, Jean Quiquampoix therefore did better than in Rio, where he had gleaned money. It will be a favorite in Paris in 2024. His first words.

9h00. One hour before the final of our flag bearer Samir Aït-Saïd with the gymnastic rings, let’s live together the beautiful Marseillaise in honor of Jean Quiquampoix.

8h20. For more information on the failed feat of the Blue against the United States, but also on their qualification in the snatch, it’s here.

8:12 am. Qualification of the Blue basketball in the quarter-finals of the Olympics. Defeated by the USA (93-82), France managed to bow by less than 15 points, and continues the adventure for 4 points. We are now waiting for the draw to know the opponent of the French.

8:08 am. The French women’s basketball team is on the right track, but it’s hot. A loss of less than 15 points against the USA would ensure the quarter-finals for Les Bleues: they lose 91-82 to 1′01 ′ ‘from the end of the match.

8h05. All of this, please, with an Olympic record. Jean Quiquampoix, with a total score of 34/40, equals the best mark in the history of the Olympics.

8:02 a.m. We didn’t see anything, because it was very poorly filmed, but we vibrated all the same. Congratulations to Jean Quiquampoix, our sixth gold medal of these Olympics.

8h. Olympic champion !!!!! Jean Quiquampoix is ​​Olympic speed champion with 4 targets hit on this last shot!

7h59. Quiquampoix is ​​in silver and will be Olympic champion in the event of 3/5 on the last series !!!!

7h43. Three men tied on shooting with 12 targets hit, including Jean Quiquampoix.

7h41. On the basketball side, the Americans lead 62-55. Warning warning…

7h38. A little hard to understand how it works this story, but it’s very poorly filmed, we do not see the targets hit by our shooters. Here’s how it works: 4 sets of 5 shots, the last in the ranking of targets hit is eliminated. And we start again for a series of 5 shots and we eliminate someone, and so on until there is only one left.

7:35. Meanwhile, it’s time to shoot for the final of Jean Quiquampoix! A great medal chance of our day!

7:13. It’s half-time in basketball, where the French are holding on despite a somewhat delicate end of time. 50-44 for Team USA.

7h. It’s going very well for our French women! They lead 30-24. It’s perfect for now. We hope for a victory, of course, but a loss of less than 14 points would already be a brilliant result.

6h48. Great start to the match for our Blues, which so far leads 13-11 against very clumsy Americans from a distance.

6h38. We will go to basketball, where France will face the great team of the United States. With a mission: not to lose more than 14 points to see the quarter-finals. Far from being obvious.

6h17. We invite you to take a look back at one of the highlights of the night, the rather incredible qualification of Sifan Hassan in the 1500m.

6h15. In kayaking, Etienne Hubert is qualified for the semi-finals! Here is his race.

6h12. For the rest of the program, we will have a bit of canoeing in line, with the quarter-finals in K2. But also basketball, with a United States – France decisive for the Blue, who must not lose more than 14 points to be qualified in the quarterfinals.

6h00. Here is, in a few lines, the summary of what happened last night:
