See you on July 25 for the Olympics
Among the men, the same poster, France-South Korea, seemed more balanced. In the first set especially, where the teammates of Clermontois Thomas Chirault failed by one unit, 55 points against 56 for the South Koreans. After the loss of the second round, the French were able to make a good start in the third, but ultimately insufficient to worry the Korean trio who won (5-1) and won gold against the Blues.
The two medals won this Sunday are the first obtained this season by the French team in the World Cup. Next meeting for the Blues in Paris on July 25, on the eve of the opening ceremony, for the classification shot of the Olympic Games.
