France performed extremely well in indoor team sports

We got :
- silver in bball (but against the US, a L was expected), gold in handball and volleyball for Men.
- bronze in bball (we got beaten by Japan in semis for some reason but we would have most likely lost against the US as well) and at least silver in handball (final tomorrow) for Women.

Looks like the US has good chance to at least tie China in gold medals if we can win women’s basketball and volleyball. China has a shot at a boxing gold, but so do we…

Would have been well clear of China if women’s soccer, men’s track and women’s gymnastics had done better

Yeah, always has been, plenty of clubs and we play it in school.

We got 3 gold and 1 silver in the last 4 games, only L was against Denmark in 2016 but we avenged that loss today in a very defensive final though. France is arguably the best handball nation in the world for the last 25 years.

Women’s basketball should always be a gold

US has a real shot to beat China for gold

I see the English press is already investigating a potential doping scandal (anabolic steroid) for the Italian sprint team. Funny how silent they were when they won everything with Mo Farah and the infamous Salazar, or with the current Sifan Hassan...
