But in wrestling, the harvest was more beautiful. Theo Vannier doubles repeats his great performance in sambo with a second place in less than 95 kilos. Tom Lemasson also brought home the silver in under 75 kilos, while Valentin Marcotte finished third in under 85 kilos. But the best performance is to be credited to Lara Normal who won gold and the title of French university champion in over 70 kilos.
