Ok, I think that nobody in France could't expect that our women's team will finish higher at these ECHs I think our team has lost its emotional strength after the Games. However, they are OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS, and I'm very proud of them.

3 days without matches+a new venue had a big impact...

And just 1 week after the Olympic Games in Tokyo,the next host country, already has a big disappointment in this sport. Now the European Championship is being held in Vienna and 2 pairs(one from each gender) are participating there from France.The women's pair could not pass from the group, the men's pair was eliminated in the 1/24 finals.I am very disappointed after this event, because now France has a good Brazilian coach and I thought that our pairs would reach at least the 1/8 finals... The qualification system is not yet known, but I have huge doubts that France will receive host country quotas.

Oh, no... I hope that they will change the system.This system is really unfair, especially for European teams. It would be good if they held a qualifying tournament with the participation of only European teams. How do they understand which are the 3 best teams from Europe in this tournament, if they did not play among themselves? Well, this system worked when Sweden, England and the Netherlands defeated Germany, Norway and Italy, respectively. But when the USA defeated France and reached the semifinals, it does not mean that France could not have defeated England.It would be better if France and England played a match after the tournament, where they would reveal who will play at the Olympics.I hope they will take measures regarding the qualification of European teams

I am not worried about the results of France. Of course, it's a shame that we don't get medals in "successful" sports after Rio (boxing,equestrian).I am very happy for team sports. I don't think that something will change in 3 years, especially in front of a home audience. I would also like to add that most of the French athletes are under 25 years old. Most athletes before the Games had the task not only to try to get a medal, but also to gain Olympic experience.The most obvious example for me is the women's team pursuit in the track cycling. And the fact that France took a lot of offensive fourth places is probably due to poor acclimatization or the youth of the athletes.

5/5 teams qualified to SFs. If only we were so good at individual sports... p.s. not considering football, 3x3 basketball and rugby

Yeah...and a lot of 4 places and qualification to the finals, but the result is very good for Paris 2024 (Muller,Gicquel/Delrue,Boukli,Milou,Héduit,Delassus,Barbellin,Humbert). Disappointment for Basketball W (the loss in the Eurobasket final greatly affected the mental state of the team). For Handball H, tomorrow's match againt , will be very indicative to see if we have a chance of a medal. The performance of F team does not bother me, because everyone knows how badly France starts major tournaments, which it then wins. I continue to support our athletes with the hope that they will perform much better in front of the home audience

WHAT.A.DEFENSE.

What a terrible performance from French men! I expected that Thomas Chirault would be at least in the top 20... But Lisa Barbelin pleased me, considering that the Ranking Round is a weak point for her. I hope that she will reach at least the quarterfinals.

...

After the 1st round, my podium is: 1st- 2ns- 3rd-

Am I the only person who does not have live broadcasts on France tv sport? I can watch summary but not live broadcasts
