Because of a crack in the biceps tendon at the beginning of the year, Samir Aït Said believed that he could not participate in the Tokyo Olympics this summer. However, as usual, the gymnast was able to get up to be at the rendezvous. His performance is eagerly awaited this Monday August 2 at 10 a.m. for the final men of the rings. Five years ago in Rio, he had already recovered from a double broken leg. “I still remember the night I spent. I told myself that we were going to have to start all over again for four years. His injury had grown to such an extent that he could no longer go out incognito, there was a line for have an autograph “, remembers in the columns of the World his trainer, Rodolphe Bouché.
Towards a feat of Samir Aït Saïd?
It is he who follows him since 2015 in his adventures that make the French dream. The 31-year-old athlete, born in Champigny-sur-Marne, at least hope to get on the podium. A feat that had not been achieved four years ago. This Monday August 2 also marks opening of the cycle track in Tokyo at 8:30 a.m. with the women’s team sprint, but without a French presence. In Rio, track cycling allowed France to win only a bronze medal in men’s team speed. A meager booty for some, but it could be worse in Japan as the JDD. Hopes rest on three-time world champion Benjamin Thomas, which took part in its first Games, but also on the sprinter Mathilde Gros.
