France Struggles to Secure First Olympic Medal in Paris
Despite notable performances from Clément Ducos (4th in 400m hurdles) and the women’s 4x100m relay team (4th), France remained without an Olympic medal as the final day of the Paris Games approached.
Dominican Marileidy Paulino shattered France’s hopes, claiming gold in the 400m with a record-breaking performance. Meanwhile, Belgium’s Nafissatou Thiam secured her third Olympic gold in the heptathlon.
