She is perhaps there, the star of the Paris 2024 Olympics. Antoine Dupont, essential captain of the French XV, should participate in the Paris 2024 Olympics with the French Sevens team. According to Team informationnumber 9 of the Blues would be on the list of players who will prepare for the 7-a-side tournament of the Olympic Games.
As we indicated in our columns, Antoine Dupont did not wish to announce his decision before the World Cup, where the Blues failed by a small point in the quarter-finals against the now double world champion South Africa. But it is now an open secret as the player has repeated his desire to participate in the Games at home. The one who celebrates his 27th birthday this Wednesday has decided to throw himself into the 7-a-side adventure. All the stakeholders – the French Rugby Federation, the Toulouse Stadium and of course the player – have now all started to agreement and should communicate at the beginning of next week.
It remains to be seen how Antoine Dupont will be prepared. His absence for the VI nations tournament, in favor of preparation 7, should quickly be noted.
Always according to the TeamDupont would indeed be the only Blue from the French XV to participate in the Games, to avoid sending the wrong message to players who have been present for longer in the Seven Series tournaments, and well placed in the world rankings (4th).
Fabien Galthié’s captain will therefore go to 7-a-side training to prepare as best as possible, normally in Canada near Vancouver on the weekend of February 23, 2024 then a few days later in Los Angeles on March 2 and 3. While continuing his life at XV with Stade Toulouse. A season of all the madness that he will want to conclude at the summit in Paris in the summer of 2024.
