Double Gold in Tokyo: France also Wins the Women`s Olympic Title with Victory over Russia
The French double triumph in Tokyo is perfect: One day after the men, France`s women`s national team also won their final and made the Olympic victory perfect. In the final against the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) team, the Equipe Tricolore won 30:25 (15:13). Olivier Krumbholz`s team was more efficient than its opponents and could rely on goalkeeper Cleopatre Darleux, especially in the second half. The best scorers were Pauletta Foppa and Allison Pineau for France and Russia`s Polina Vedekhina, all three of whom scored seven times. Five years ago in Rio de Janeiro, the Russians had triumphed over the French in the final.
