This sabre fencer from Orléans, supported by CASDEN Banque Populaire, fought a tightly contested match against the Hungarian Anna Marton, winning 15 to 6 to claim the 3rd place on the podium.

The women's 3X3 basketball team got their confidence back after a hesitant start to the competition thanks to their victories against Mongolia and Russia: next step, the quarterfinals!
