07/08/24 – 11:15 p.m. – A mixed day

After a quiet day on Tuesday, Wednesday's was full of great medals, even though everything settled down by the end of the day. The big midday hiccup was for the French handball players. Leading with five seconds to go and with possession, the French ultimately lost in overtime and said goodbye to the Olympic title and Nikola Karabatic in the worst possible way. In women's basketball, Les Bleues did better by easily dominating Germany. They will face Belgium in the semi-finals. Just before, the Lebrun and Gauzy brothers took the French table tennis team to the semi-finals as well. 

The first medal of the day had to wait until 8:30 p.m. with the bronze for the French Taekwondo fighter Cyrian Ravet who took advantage of his opponent's withdrawal to win his first Olympic medal. This launched the evening in the most beautiful way. The volleyball players secured a medal by surpassing Italy and reaching the final. And to end this beautiful evening, the French boxers brought home two new medals, even if they were certainly the ones they did not want. Sofiane Oumiha and Djamili Aboudou lost their fight and left with a silver and a bronze medal. 

07/08/24 – 23:04 – Oumiha's disappointment

""I wanted to end on a high note, çit didn't go the way I wanted. That's life. “I can't be happy with a silver medal because that's not what I came for. I don't think there will be another opportunity. I'm getting older and it's starting to show,” said Sofiane Oumiha, particularly surprised.

TERRIBLE… Sofiane Oumiha is beaten in the final by a split decision. The Frenchman is defeated. Erislandy Alvarez is the Olympic boxing champion in the -63.5kg category. 

07/08/24 – 22:59 – The fight is over!

07/08/24 – 22:53 – Oumiha in the hard!

The Cuban continues and Sofiane Oumiha is clearly in difficulty in this boxing final. 

07/08/24 – 22:51 – End of the first round
