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.
