On the last day of the world championships, the French team climbed to the 2nd step of the podium for the 4th consecutive year, thus enabling it to conclude its world championships with 5 medals (1 in gold, 1 in silver, 3 bronze).
France has confirmed its regularity and its know-how in team competitions. No coincidence, as in online casino.
In their first meeting, the Blues won without trembling against Georgia with a score of 4 to 1 thanks to the victories of Sarah-Léonie CYSIQUE (-57kg), Joan-Benjamin GABA (-73kg), Marie-Ève GAHIE ( -70kg) and Romane DICKO (+70kg).
In the quarter-finals, Joan-Benjamin GABA (-73kg), Marie-Ève GAHIE (-70kg), Aleksa MITROVIC (-90kg) and Romane DICKO (+70kg) allow the French team to beat China 4 to 0 .
Opposed to Israel in the semi-finals, the French team dominates the match 4 to 1 following the fights won by Marie-Ève GAHIE (-70kg), Romane DICKO (+70kg), Sarah-Léonie CYSIQUE (-57kg) and Alexis MATHIEU (-90kg).
In the final, our French team, Olympic champion, finds the Japanese team, unbeaten since the creation of the competition. Our French lost 2 to 4 for their 4th consecutive world final.

“Today with the team competition, we saw great things with the young people, among the boys. It feels good. They manage to transcend themselves as a team, but they don’t do it individually. They have to realize that if they are capable of doing things in teams, they are also capable of doing them individually.
Romane DICKO confirmed his title. Sarah-Léonie CYSIQUE’s journey is a little more frustrating because she flew over everyone in the teams so she would have been largely on the box individually.
Overall, it’s good, we proved that France always respond as a team. We have the culture of the teams, for us, it is important. This proves that our Olympic title is not a mistake. On the other hand, I repeat, if you do exploits as a team, you must also be able to do them individually. We are going to take stock with the athletes, with the staffs and then we are going to try to put things back in place so that we raise the bar and that the next time, we are more efficient than we have been at this championship.’
