1. Impossible as the 7s tournament starts just before the opening ceremony and goes on after.

2. Impossible as we're not rotten enough (yet) to offer the flag to a "non-olympian" (same applies for Mbappé or Wembanyama )

Surely it has to be Teddy Riner??

Don't really understand  strategy, with renewed squad every time they can field a strong team. Lots of injuries here so there go their chances of back to back Olympics.

 was probably the favorite coming in, even more so now, if they manage to escape big brother's trap.

 defeats  21-14 to qualify for Paris!

Qualified :           

 

Final repêchage tournament :            

 

 

Unlike the women's qualifications several World Series teams are not in yet, and two at least will be left out. A bit karmic to see the three relegated from last season (Japan, Kenya and Uruguay) get a spot when their executioners (Canada and Spain) don't.

Quite the group for the final qualifier. Loving the depth in rugby sevens.

 

As much as I would like to see another upset it is hard to see  or  not winning the final spot.

My early predictions:

 

1° to 4° :  |  |  | 

 

5° to 8° :  |  |  | 

 

9° to 12° :  |  |  |
