A priori, the IOC has not yet planned to create a table of medals specific to team sports. Too bad for France: eighth nation in the world of these Olympic Games in Tokyo and struggling in a few “big” Olympic sports such as swimming, athletics or cycling, the Blues have on the other hand experienced a historic fortnight in the ten events concerned ( basketball, 3×3 basketball, baseball / softball, handball, field hockey, football, rugby sevens, volleyball, beach volleyball, water polo).
By winning six medals, including three gold (men’s and women’s hand, men’s volley), the Habs are thus ranked second in this virtual table. They are preceded only by the United States (6 golds including a double in basketball) and sign an almost full box: six of the eight teams entered climbed on the podium, only footballers and 3×3 basketball players returning empty-handed.
