LIVE. JO 2024: the gold medal for King Léon Marchand, Borel in the épée final, live

After Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Léon Marchand won the second gold medal this Sunday, July 28, at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The essentials

  • Pauline Ferrand-Prévot paved the way for the French with a beautiful gold medal in mountain biking before Amandine Buchard's bronze medal a little later in judo. But this day and evening was to be that of Léon Marchand and the swimmer responded by being crowned Olympic champion in the 400m medley.
  • Yannick Borel will compete in the epee final at the Grand Palais. Huge disappointment for French gymnastics with an elimination from the qualifications. However, it went through for Félix Lebrun who easily passed his first round in table tennis. The French volleyball team had a scare, but won 3-2 against Serbia.
