In 2021 I was very bad at this little game. But I want to be very, veeeery optimistic about in 2024 : I strongly believe in the "home advantage" for this type of event.

Let's say three more medals. Total prediction (in the very optimistic spectrum) 63 Medals, +/- 17 gold medals

I'm obviously happy for Simon-JBB-Jeanmonnot-Chauveau But I don't want the French girls to become the Norwegian men I hope for more exciting future races (the Pursuit seems already decided...)

Very, very happy for Lena Häcki-Gross, she's such a joy to watch racing, and she often seemed so close to a first victory (and usually a podium) ! The French girls team is so good this season, I love it ! And there is still such a good team in IBU Cup and Junior Cup too...!

Braisaz-Bouchet back with the "super mom power"

Que d'informations que je découvre pour la première fois, merci beaucoup ! Je ne suis aucun de ces sports (à part aux JO), donc très heureux d'apprendre qu'un projet en patinage de vitesse (masculin..) ait été mis en place ! Est ce que c'est aussi en lien avec la possible candidature en 2030 ? Car je pensais la fédération des sports de glace perdue à jamais. 😬

Yeah, she hasn't been arrested at all, the police (or in this case "gendarmerie") only got her testimony in the presence of her lawyer But don't worry it's French justice, we'll have the results of this case in 2 years

Wrestling is unfortunately considered as a (very) minor sports discipline in France (especially compared to other combat sports like boxing or judo). I think his gold medal will make a page in l'Equipe (the largest sports magazine in France), but it will be the only media coverage for him. I myself admit to having learned of Ibrahim Ghanem's existence yesterday.

We have really bad and evil federations in the country, but Artistic Gymnastics's is clearly one of the worst. For the specialists here : do you think Melanie de Jesus dos Santos has any chance to win medals in 2024?

Disastrous championships for for the moment, with maybe only one boat that will get a quota. For the moment, no plausible explanations from the federation. The two Lightweight boats were contenders for the podium, and here we are now with the men eliminated and the women in difficulty for the last quota in Final B.

Je ne suis absolument rien au pentathlon, mais depuis qu'ils ont changé leurs règles suite à la polémique de l'équitation, j'ai l'impression que les francais(e)s ont bien baissé au terme de niveau non ?

Wonderful World Championships, and it was very nice to follow it with reading all Totallympics users comments!

Un petit espoir demain avec le K2 femmes et le C2 hommes (les résultats de tous les championnats du monde de cet été pour la France sont pour le moment très décevants )

We learned today that the leaders of the French athletics federation will be summoned to the Ministry of Sports to explain the poor results of French athletes... ... But as usual nothing will change

Estomaqué de lire l'article de l'Equipe sur ces championnats du monde et comment l'équipe de France les envisageait : plusieurs des français.e.s engagé.e.s ont dû dépenser de leur argent personnel pour réussir à venir à ces championnats...

Only two individuals TOP8 (and a 4th place in the mixed relay) for the moment.. Athletics never was our best sport, but it's getting worse.

Kevin Mayer might be out in the Decathlon (achilles tendon pain). Could be a bluff, or goodbye only (realistic) medal chance.

Si seulement il ne pouvait y avoir que Maryse Ewanjé-Epée et Stéphane Diagana aux commentaires sur France TV Pas folichon les résultats français pour le moment (sans surprise), minus Gabriel Bordier et Schrub, à voir si un des deux hurdleurs fait médaille tout à l'heure.

What's going on?

En 6 ans je pense qu'il y avait moyen de construire de belles équipes (ils l'ont bien fait pour le quatre de couple femmes), mais bon on ne saura jamais !

Voir la France concourir dans uniquement 8 des 12 catégories olympiques donne tout de même un pincement au cœur. Dommage que la Délégation n'ait pas fait le choix de miser sur des embarcations de 8 dès l'annonce de Paris 2024.. (Enfin bon c'est des questions de moyens aussi certainement)

J'ai une petite question qui peut paraître un peu bête : avec les quotas individuels "acquis" par la France en tant que pays hôte, les tireurs et tireuses sont également qualifiés obligatoirement pour les épreuves en équipe mixte ?

Presque un 100%, bien joué!

I didn't expect so much drama before opening this page!

Yes they are 8th too. Well at least we could cheer for our three teams if they manage to qualify to quarter-finals!

It's very difficult for against in the semi-finals... Ysaora Thibus seems to really struggle in these world championships. Okay she was imperial for the last relay.
