Good French news at Rio

Amid all the gloom of French media at their stars not performing in Rio (see below and swimmer Florent Manadou), one young Toulousain Sofiane Oumiha has pleased his compatriots in the ville rose's La Reynerie quarter.

He has reached the final of the under 60kg weight in the boxing, so is guaranteed at least a silver medal. As his final opponent is a Brazilian let's hope the crowd is more sporting.

Update: Oumiha lost the final, but was delighted with his silver medal and his smiling attitude won friends and the admiration of his supporters - and his generous opponent.
