For these Olympic Games, France’s ambition is very high. If the medal forecasts promise a top 3, the organization and even the president are counting on a top 5 with a record number of medals. Several big French stars are expected during the Olympic Games. We are thinking in particular of Léon Marchand in swimming who could be the biggest star of these Games. But team sports with handball, basketball, volleyball, football, could also bring their share of trinkets. Finally, what can we say about judo with in particular its spearhead Teddy Riner or fencing, always a very prolific sport.
