France books sensational victory over Team Japan
France won the first judo mixed team event at the Olympic Games. In the final the team of Japan was defeated, who would ever though that. The Japanese had won all four Mixed team World Championships, France ended with silver three times. This time though the French started well with a victory for U63kg Olympic Champion Clarisse Agbegnenou against Chizuru Arai, her equivalent U70kg. Agbegnenou gave the French the lead and Axel Clerget didn’t disappoint and built out the score to 2-0.
