The essentials

• This day could be unique. This Friday, August 2, France could leave with 6 gold medals. The program is simply mind-blowing. In judo, Romane Dicko and especially Teddy Riner are aiming for nothing other than the gold medal. In fencing, the men's epee with Borel and Cannone are the favorites of the competition. In BMX, France could achieve a hat-trick. Finally, the day should end in apotheosis with Léon Marchand and maybe Florent Manaudou.
• In the first results of the morning, Picon and Steyaert took the bronze medal in 49er FX, Maxime Grousset and Charlotte Bonnet passed the heats in swimming. F&eacutelix Lebrun was however dominated in the semi-final by Fan Zhendong. He will play for the bronze medal on Sunday.
