It's over for our French badists in Tokyo !
After a defeat, followed by a victory against Sabrina JAQUET, our Frenchwoman, Qi XUEFEI lost to the world number one, Tai Tzu Ying. (21/10 - 21/13)
By finishing third in their group, like our mixed pair DELRUE / GICQUEL, they are eliminated from these Olympic Games. The Games will remain for them "a very good experience".
Her compatriot, Brice LEVERDEZ, who won his first match, faced the N°8 player in the world yesterday in the group phase. Unfortunately, the step was too high and our Frenchman lost 21/17 - 21/5, not allowing him to reach the final phases.
Our French players have nevertheless made a magnificent journey by winning some great matches. Our hopes for medals now rest on our Paralympic athletes who will start the competition on 24 August 2021.
