Gévrise Emane, reigning European champion under 63 kg, gave France its first gold medal by winning in the final against the Japanese Yoshie Ueno, double world champion. This title brings two tricolor medals. On Wednesday, the 2008 junior world champion Ugo Legrand managed to win bronze in the under 73 kg category. Above all, he caused a sensation by eliminating the world number one, the South Korean Wang Ki-chun. France can still hope to win several world champion titles with the entry into the running, on Friday, of Lucie Décosse then on Saturday of Audrey Tcheuméo and Teddy Riner.
